A Warning

You didn't let it get you down!

Noelle,

I think you know everyone here understands what happened. It can happen to any of us at any time and we must always be vigilant about it.

However, unlike so many, you did just as Mary and many others here have, you did not let one day become a string of days.

I am incredibly proud of you. It is hard to keep AL at bay, especially if we give into him/her at any point.

I also want to add I agree with Kate. How like you to share as a reminder to all of us.

You are one strong lady!!

Love,
Cindi

A Warning

Me too!

I've been jumping around reading all the forums, but I need a homebase. Yesterday, I might not have slipped if I knew right where I could go for comfort and help. Why did I drink, first thing in the morning, after 11 AF days and feeling really good
Several times in the past, I've tried to talk to my husband but we just don't talk about ANYTHING and we haven't for many years. I was doing some Spring cleaning and the urge just blew me down. I thought I was being rational and would have just one nice little shot of rum in some fresh OJ.... I know better:H I drink alone and in secret. I didn't finish the second bottle of wine last night just because I couldn't stay awake. It's stashed someplace in the laundry and now I've got to find it and to throw away the empties... all this sneaking around is soooo stupid.
I'm old and bored and unhappy and I don't know what to do about it. But I started drinking when I was young, beautiful and successful, so what are my reasons??

I need some friends to talk too:l g.

Noelle,
Thank you for posting. It is a warning we all need from time to time.

For me personally, though I try to be a strong, independant woman, I know I am not stronger than that shit head AL.
One drink, and he has beaten me. (now to apply that when I am feeling weak!!!!)

many hugs,
love, K

Hang in there Noel, I keep saying we're in a marathon, not a sprint. Definatley only slipping up once and getting right back on track is noteworthy!! You'll be ok, no doubts about it.
