      Why I Relapsed After 6 Years Sober

      I'm so grateful for this amazing and powerful post.

      It hit home with me especially as I'm now living in a different part of the world and only meeting people who know the post drinking me. I totally see how you fell into the trap of the romantic notion of being able to drink normally and I have had these fleeting thoughts myself. Reading your story helps so much to remind me of the reality, I too would be back to 3 bottles of wine in no time.

      I wish you well in all that lies ahead and share your joy at living every single moment in sobriety.

          That was a fantastic post. I'm sure that will help many. I too engaged the fantasy and it took me under. Even though I know for myself, it was good for me to read your post. The alkie brain is a tricky thing. Thank you for sharing.

            I just want to say thank you SOOOO much for sharing this story Nice Life. I found it really thought provoking and moving. Particularly the stuff about romancing the booze, then finding it not that great after all, yet it still leading quickly to excessive drinking and misery. This is a very instructive, important read for all of those of us struggling our way to sobriety and stumbling. Thank you. I look forward to reading about your new successful 'nice life' sober again.

              Thanks for taking the time to write about your relapse and how it happened and how frightenly quick it happened...
              And how fast it took hold.
              It truly is terrifying that once we go to that dark alcohol place, everything gets worse, nothing gets better
              Your post has motivated me to try a lot harder

              Thanks
              take care

                  Amazing post!! Thank you for your story!!

                  I have not reached anywhere near your 6 year milestone, but I think I can imagine how I might become comfortable in my sobriety and become curious about modding... I will think of this post.



                  :thanks:

                  Great job on your sobriety!!

                    I am going to print this and save it. if someone knows how - I actually suggest moving to the toolbox. Something this important, that has touched so many people - should not be lost in a buried thread.
                    That popping sound you hear is me attempting to remove my head from my arse. It's been there for years so this may take a while.
                    Admitting I need healing. And I am not big enough to do this alone.

                      Totally agree PF

                      As someone who relapsed for similar reasons after 8+ months AF ( but then drank daily for almost another 3 yrs) I can't over emphasise how valuable this post / story is.

                      I gave it a 5 star rating, but I don't know how to move / duplicate it / include it in the tool box. Is anyone else ( or moderators) able to do this?

                      Another possibility is moving it up to the Tool box / like a swimming pool / area and give it it's own "sticky" if this is possible?

                      Hoping someone can help?

                        WOW-that was so great! Thank you so much for sharing that. It is simply amazing how fast we can sink after taking that step. Even if it takes months we will go down in due tome, to a place we never want to be.
                        That was very very encouraging for me, and adds to the knowledge that I am not alone, that I am not the only person fighting this.
                        THANK YOU

                              A great post mylife! This is like reading a story from the AA big book! So well written and thought provoking. I felt at home and stunned and very at ease from reading this.
