Hang in there Maxine,

Please don't beat yourself up, we've all done it and probably will again .....

You need to feel positive about your six days AF, At least now you know that you CAN do it.

Your boyfriend will get over it, you just need to look after yourself right now.......

Lots of love & hugs coming your way :h :l :h :l

Hey there Maxi. I did the same thing. Read my thread in the Just starting out section. It sucks. Just start again. You got through 6 days. So, you can do it again. So, you lost a battle. Don't give up on the War. You deserve to get healthy. You deserve to treat yourself right. Okay, that's difficult for me to do also. I have low low low low self esteem. I'm leaning to raise it a bit at a time. So, just start and day one again and remember that yes you have done six so to look at one day AF will be easier this time around.:h :h

Hey Maxine,

I think it is great you went 6days af, well done. I went 4 days af and then caved last night and had 2 drinks. I decided not to beat myself up about it though, because it used to be 7 or 8 drinks.
So lets start with day 1 af again.
good luck and take care.:l :h

Try and try again! You did 6 days - and had a minor slip... no biggie! This takes practice you know. I can't tell you how many times I was committed to being AF and then slipped! Hang in there and get back on the horse when you are ready again.

Hi Maxi,

Hey, everyone here has slipped... don't waste your energy worrying or fretting about. The only important thing is, like Irish said, just don't give up!! Get up, wipe yourself off and get back on your way to taking good care of yourself and feeling good!!!

best wishes, Olly

6 days is better than I have ever done and I've been here longer. You've done fabulous. Just pick yourself up, brush yourself off and you'll be fine.

Take Care!

6 days is awesome, and a bottle and a half isn't very much to fall off with, you've done really well!

Thinking about you, take care.

Maxine,

Don't feel bad I messed up last night to I had about a bottle and a half, and I went 14 days AF I was so depressed this morning and mad at myself, you see when I drink I have a tendency to call all of my friends and family and tell them how much I love them and miss them and they probably think I am off my gourd but they are always nice to me. Oh well !!!!!!!!

You know what I am going to look at the positive, I not drinking today so I'm not on a typical bender, and I will feel good tomorrow for work and that is important. And I'm going to drink lots of water and tea.

I guess my telling you all of that is so you maybe can feel like we can get through today together

Feel better and take care of you!!!!

Yep Kit Kat. I agree with Paula. You are breaking your cylcle(sp). That's a big thing. Baby steps and small victories in our battles is what gets us through and keeps up improving. Just remember you are worth this War that you are fighting. My Hubby keeps pounding that into my head. He lets me know I'm am worth all this shit I have to fight. So are you! So, there is better out there for all of us who have decided we want to challenge all of our demons and dragons or battles. However you choose to look at this. Huggs to you and keep it up! Big Huggs going out to you.
