Disser

So I managed to stop drinking for over 2 weeks could be upto 3 weeks maybe. I just want use this a diary for 4 weeks and post daily just simply saying the words I didn’t drink. 3 days ago a drunk a very dangerous amount, I had a mindset that I don’t care if I die. Iv been sleeping for 2 days after that. Managed to get my ass in the gym but low energy and just in this 1 session it’s made me have 2 injuries. I loved that time off from alcohol and I’m going to do it again

It's great that you're back and working on recovery.

Welcome back don't ever give up. It's good that you are back at the gym I say take it easy. If you injured yourself I would do some alternative exercise like stationary bike or treadmill up hill at a slow paste. Play some good music and enjoy the moment. Hydrate my friend

Glad you are back. Falling doesn't erase those sober days you had. It just makes you appreciate more how precious sobriety really is.

I think making a daily entry on this thread is an awesome idea...I did that in the beginning too. It really helped me stay focused. My first goal was 54 days because I wanted to beat my previous 53. Then I focused on the 6 month hump. Then a year. Today is day 518.

Realize that with time, the urge to drink will fade and other things will take its place.

One day at a time.

it's great that you're back. Remember that you don't have to feel bad about it all. It sucks when we relapse but we can only go up from there. you've got the support from all of us here. knowing that we can come here and not be judged gives me myself great peace of mind and i hope it does to you to. feeling bad about a relapse might only push oneself to drink but we can hopefully learn from it

Could have written this post myself.

Good luck mate and try again.

Sobriety and me make me sadder but I know it has to be done.......

And you'll get to love it more and more as the days continue to build.

Glad you're back Disser.

Yeh, I guess the gym and recent alcohol don't mix well and it seems that injuries are to be expected in those conditions. God knows it’s easy enough to injure yourself working out even when sober - I sustained a serious injury at the gym 30 years ago and it’s still with me every day of my life lol - lucky me.

Yo disser! Like stickyone said, above, don't ever give up! Ever. This mentality has served me well through a lot of miserable times. The more you fight the better and more masterful you get at it. You begin to win more battles than you lose. And then you win the war.

I haven't won the war quite yet but the tide is turning in my favor. I'll never give up.

You can do this
