Finally back on the wagon. Made it to day 8
 
What a nightmare. After being sober for quite a long time, I slipped up early this year. Didn't take long to land right back where I left off. Drinking over a liter of vodka per day was pretty easy since I was working from home due to Covid. Not to mention the convenience of InstaCart.

I spare the details, but I tapered safely and I'm back on track with diet, exercise, mindfulness, gratitude, and support. I can't describe how awesome it feels to be able to go to sleep (instead of passing out) and wake up feeling great.

Your story is important for us to hear so that we can remain vigilant against the insidious AV that suggests we can drink again after a period of sobriety to reward ourselves for our hard work. Thanks for sharing!

Glad you're back. Congrats on 8 days!

So glad you are back Rem . . . . ugh . . . . I stopped drinking a bit over two years ago and every now and then I realize how easy it would be to go back. Not fun.

I'm hoping you are putting day 8 in the bag and headed for day 9 . . . . this is not an easy time for anyone.

Let us know how you get on.

Glad to hear you made it back sober. Keep it up.

Thanks for the reminder that drinking isn't all awesomesauce and rainbows.

Insidious isn't it? Alcohol/addiction will jump us at our lowest times and relentlessly try to kill us.

Glad you made it back, I feel like I used up my Last Chance.
