Time For Reconsideration
BR
If you feel you have to go then I hope you're going for support somewhere else.
The support is a lifeline and it's so easy to get "stinkin' drinkin' thinkin' without people who know exactly how you feel, where you come from, what your struggles are.
If you've connected with anyone here pm them. If you haven't, feel free to pm me. I've always willing to listen.
Hugs,

Ok....by now, anyone that read my post knows what I was doing last night. Two days shy of a 5 week run of sobriety and I once again turned to the bottle after my husband left. My office and house look like a floral shop, he got down on his knees on our driveway last night (red rock) and begged me for another chance. So to find an answer I turned to gin! and all I had to mix it with was diet root beer......not a good combo.
Well, as you all know, I did not find the answer in the bottle, found some self loathing and disrepect for myself but no answer for my husband.
If you all don't mind, I think I will stay and keep trying?Finally Free

Whew, thought I was going to have to hunt you down! Red, estranged one wants to come home too. I just can't do it. But that is what is right for me. Spend a little time doing some soul searching. Minus the gin of course, but you know that! If I might.... I would recommend the book Radical Forgiveness by Colin Tipping. Also, There is a book called the 40 day promise or something like that. It was recommended but I don't know much about it. :hsigpic
Thoughts become things..... choose the good ones. ~TUT

Glad you are staying. Last night was last night, today is a new day. I think the worst thing to do is leave here b/c you drank. No one here judges you for that b/c we are all here b/c we drank. I find that if things start getting bad or even good with my drinking and I don't come round for a bit, it always tanks! Best thing, I have found out the hard way, is if AL is a problem this is the best place to be and stay. Drinking or not! Glad you changed your mind and of course we don't mind if you stay! :l :lOne out of four people in this country is mentally unbalanced. Think of your 3 closest friends...If they seem OK then you are the one.

Red, when you blow it it's time to come here for MORE support and help, not leave because you feel embarressed about it! Sure, you're the only one here who's ever done it --- NOT!!!!! There is more understanding here for what you're going through, and in the meetings, than anywhere else. I can't understand what your husband is trying to do to you and the kids, but I know it's hell, and while I won't tell you what to do, I will stand by what you decide to do as your friend. Obviously he has seen something very different in you lately, don't you think? PM me later if you want, but just stay here, hang on to this lifeline. You need a safe harbor, where you're loved, accepted, and understood, just the way you are.

Dear Red,
I'm inspired by the fact that you made it almsot 5 weeks, hit a pothole and then changed the tire :} the next day.
Of all places do you think everyone is welcomed back each time ...
I come here all the time, because It's the best place in world and everyone here knows my nameThose who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it!
