    I Drank...Again.

    I've been gone for a couple of days... I fell off the proverbial wagon in such a bad way this past Friday... Blackout bad. Terrible Saturday recouperating. My [I]prosthetic[I] boyfriend came over at an ungodly hour with 2beers in hand this morning. I chose to drink one. When he left, I threw the other one out. Weirdly, I dont blame myself for anything- I am right back on this horse! It will be a continous battle, but I know I can do it. In such a short while,10 af free days continual and 5 days in the last week . I just had to put that out there- I am not angry at myself and realize that I cant put myself in sticky social situations or deal with sticky people ( damn that includes my prosthetic boyfriend) ...But i am back and this site keeps me focused! Thank you!

      MD, sorry about the bad weekend, but sometimes we just have to re-experience Hell to remember how hot it is! You've got the past memory of how good that AF time can be, and it sounds like you're getting your plan together to get there again. Its only when we make up our mind WHAT we want, WHAT is important, and HOW we choose to live our lives that we make the final decision to be AF. Hang in there, keep posting and keep reading here as much as you can.

        Nice to see you back MD! keep focusing on the 15 AF days you did and not on the fact that you had a slip. We must feel proud of our accomplishments because that is what will keep us strong and motivated. I know you`re dealing with a lot of stuff and having a boyfriend who drinks well.... that`s a double whammy! My hat`s off to you girl, I think you`re doing great!!:l

              It sounds like you recognized some important lessons in this choice to drink. That is so important! I too had to make drastic changes to my social habits and people I chose (or not) to be around in order to get free.

              You have to want to be AF more than you want to drink, and be willing to go to any length you have to to get to the AF place. Part of that is figuring out what works and what doesn't.

              Now you know what doesn't work. You CAN do this!!! Hang tough!

                      Thanks for your honest post. The last time I drank was on a Friday and my Saturday was also hell, trying to feel better. It is so not worth it. I am hopeful that you are right back to being AF and wishing you strength and hope.

                        MommyDearest,

                        It doesn't matter how many battles you win or lose, it matters that you win the war.

                        Love,

                          Thanks Everyone!!! I need to hear everything you're saying...I went to work today!!! I love teaching!!! Today I had first graders, I adore their honesty and compassion. I miss my kids at that age. I put some new curtains up as a "reward"! I came to the conclusion today that I musnt think of not drinking as a punishment, like something I cant have- out of reach. Shiiiiit...I DONT WANT IT-(LOL)!

                            MD, the greatest "reward" you can give yourself is sobriety! For us problem drinkers, AF is the route to FREEDOM and POSSIBLITIES and OPTIONS in life. "A" drink is just a one way ticket back to self imposed jail with all it's limitations.

                            Good for you on a GREAT day filled with things to be grateful for in your AF life.

                              This site continues to amaze me with its encouragement and support. I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Psychology and the mind is amazing. I believe we can overcome and having a support tool like MWO helps us keep moving forward. I joined this site because I felt I needed to cut back on drinking Alcohol and since I started on MWO I have cut back substantially. I am trying not to drink at all but I have had a couple glass of wine last weekend and one tonight, which I am not proud of because I would rather try to run my life not have my cravings run it. It goes for dieting too.

                              MWO and all of you are my accountability. Thank you. I will keep trying to be AF longer and longer each time until the desire is gone.
