i find it inspirational that you made it 100 days at all! You should be proud of that fact and know that you proved to yourself you could make it that far. I hope to make it that far, and when I do, I will PM you and see let you know! I think that you will be able to get back to where you left off, because you have made it so far and have come back to the forums, which means you have not given up. You want to succeed and you will!

DLW I just joined this weekend and did 1 day AF then last night was drunk. I am pretty much disgusted with myself on a daily basis. I admire your hundred days and hope to one day have 100 days under my belt. Starting today....

DLW- 100 days is awesome!

101 days Alcohol free with only one drinking day in there is also an amazing accomplishment.

I have been here much longer than you and haven't managed anywhere near 100 days in one stretch, you can be very proud- just jump up, dust yourself off, and get right back on that wagon!!

Beautifully Said One2Many

I always feel so much better when I read all the supporting thoughts from everyone!

dlw,

I am so very impressed and have much admiration for you going 100 days af. I only hope is that I can achieve that also.

I know you must feel crappy but I can't add to what everyone else has said. That is why you came back to vent. These people are great and so are you.

One, what you posted moved my soul. Thank you. I printed it. It's a keeper.

Great job on getting right back in the game, dlw. It would be easy to just get depressed and say "the hell with it...may as well keep drinking for a few days...".

You didn't do that. You realised you screwed up and were immediately upset and disappointed with yourself, and are now holding your head up and getting on with living the way you really want to...AF.

Just remember...it's easier to stay quit than to keep quitting. Say that to yourself the next time The Beast starts dropping little hints. Learn from this and be proactive in your AF life.

We're all proud of the way you have handled this.

I wish I had been as strong as you when I drank champagne at my son's graduation last year on my 120th day. Instead, I let the Beast back into my life - gradually, he crept back in - I thought I could control him but once again he has ended up controlling me. I'm fighting back though and I'm coming to the end of day 4. You have shown a great attitude today - like Chief said you could have thrown the towel in and thought what the hell but you haven't. You still have your sobriety and you are still on that AF path.

love Janicexxx

The total number of AF days is way more important than the number of consecutive days. Just get back up again and yell, CHARGE!

AF since 10-10-08!!!! That is so AWESOME!!!! So you had a little relapse....Be proud of what you have done.....don't look back on your mistakes. You were 3 months AF!!!!!! Now you remember how nasty you feel after you drink...the guilt, the hangover, nasty, nasty, nasty..........dust yourself off, stand tall and proud and get back to that happy good AF place! : )

Relapse is a part of recovery. After 100 days and one blip, you have picked yourself and are going on with your AF life. That speaks volumes! Use this relapse as a reminder as to why you don't drink.

This will give you added strength and the resolve in your AF journey.
