After 4 days sober, back on day 1.

Well ,I didn't make it. Back on day 1 again. Naltrexone was making me very dizzy so I stopped it on the Wednesday before TG. I had some wine on TG and I know there is no excuse but well, I just was not happy being there with my family. I did not drink Friday or Sat night , but, then i ended up blowing it last night simply because I was bored and I got into the "what the hell" mentality. It was sooo not worth it. Had nightmares all night and I was 2 hours late to work today. Funny thing was, all I had was 3 glasses of wine. I was AF Friday and Satruday night so I guess my body was upset and gave me a hangover as though I had drank twice as much. I don't know why something just clicks and becomes stronger than me. It has a lot to do with boredom and loneliness and a lack of purpose. I need to start socializing more and writing and just doing positive things because I really don't want to go down that spiral again. Time to make a new plan for this week.

Amethyst - even 2 glasses of wine used to ruin my sleep - good for you for getting back on the wagon.

You can do it! Read a book, volunteer, join a church or a group somewhere. Become a big brother/big sister (if they have it in your area). Boredom can be a trigger for a lot of people including myself.

Good for the 4 days sober glad to hear it, I too am starting back after many relapses. As many already know I was drinking up to a gallon of rum a day, Most of this was due to after my divorce, I really had nobody. I can relate very well that boredum is one of my triggers for drinking.
