Back to day 1
 

Got nine days then, stupid as I am, took a drink, I thought I'd come straight back instead of trying to Bury my head in the sand x

Great job getting back here Boggle.

Keep tryin til it sticks.

The info on this link helped me many times

It’s a day by day through the first few weeks, quotes from actual sufferers.

Thank you, that's my hope that it sticks, we buried my mums brother on Wednesday and it really upset me, I know it's no excuse at all. So I'm back again, hopefully il get double figures and beyond this time

Welcome back Boggle :)

I think every one of us though a little time off might reset us into 'normal' drinkers...but it doesn't work that way.

Abstinence is not the same as control.

My life is good because I no longer drink not because I've learned to drink normally.

PS I'm sorry for your loss - but let yourself grieve, Its a natural process man.

I hope this time you can make it stick. :) Living sober can be difficult at first, but the rewards are worth the effort. :)

I read through a few of those. Why do we do it to ourselves, il probably be on Sr a lot today just to get me through the day, next time I think of drinking, well I will think a bit harder x

Thanks, Dee and Least, sometimes I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall, you know even when I bought the bottle I was saying don't do it, but stupid me gave in, x

Glad you came right back!!❤️

Boggle, relapses happen. The key is to come right back and start again just like you did. Never stop trying and you will get it.

I’m on day 2 after having over 7 months. We can do this!

You are not "stupid" Clark. You can do this. Suit up Superman. :)

We turn to it for comfort during sad times, forgetting that it never actually helps us handle anything. It weakens us & adds more sorrow on top of what we're already dealing with. Now you have further proof that it's not our friend, Boggle. You'll be more determined.

I've misposted.

Sorry Clark, there I am reminding you that you are not "stupid" and to "suit up". Still a good idea though. :)

I'm sorry Boggle. Sorry you picked up. :(

Seriously, you are just learning how to do this thing. And it can be done. In the end it's really not worth the trouble. And it feel so good to be sober.

Great on ya for coming right back!
