Starting again. Help needed.

[startafresh]

True to my name, a particularly traumatic period in my life means that I need to start from scratch on the abstinence front. So I'm back to Day one and hoping you guys and gals on here can help.

I'm aware that I'm self-medicating to cover up some pain that I have due to a loss and change in circumstances in my life. I'm getting help with that and thought I was getting there but old behaviours surface and I need to go alchohol free as it is really not helping and I can't carry on like this. Wish me luck and any encouragement as apart from anything else I feel like a failure for having to try again.:thanks:

Please don't feel like a failure. I am right there with you. I feel like a knucklehead having let AL get the best of me. I was sober for almost a year and thought a few drinks would help with stress. Um, no. I know better, but still drank.

Stay close and as many people have said to me, one foot in front of the other. Day one turns into many more if you keep your resolve. I wish you, me and all the others struggling right now, sobriety and health. Let's do this.

Startafresh,

:welcome: Just wanted to suggest that you stop by the Newbie's Nest where there is a lot of daily support. Many of the people who post there are just starting out too.

Also, the Toolbox is full of ideas that will help you get going. I started out with the MWO book and Starter Kit supplements from this site. Read as much as you possibly have time for, and be sure to post in the Nest. Here are links to both.

Your not a failure Startafresh. You just need to brush yourself off, reread the https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...box-27556.html, and put a plan in place. You can do this and we can help you get there. Life without AL or the worry about the things that come with AL is so much better then with the worry. YOU CAN DO IT!
