    Why I Relapsed After 6 Years Sober

    Just saw this now... THANK YOU, Nicey! :l
    I wonder if we can make this a sticky? This is a must-read for most of us.
    Okay, WHO put a stop payment on my reality check?

      Why I Relapsed After 6 Years Sober

      Quite a story, Nicelife. Thanks so much for sharing. As happy as I am to be AF right now, I still have the fantasy of being able to drink like a "normal" person someday. You have put that into perspective so well. I hope to come back and re-read your post whenever I start feeling "cocky".

              Nicelife,

              I am very grateful that you posted this. Even after close to 4 years, those very same thoughts surface from time to time...this distorted notion that I could somehow mod and drink like a "normal" person. I was never able to drink like a normal person from the day I took my first drink. My life is so much better now. Why would I mess with that?

              Thanks again Nice.

                Wow, Nicelife! What a story!!

                Thank you for posting all the detail. It helps a lot. I recently found out for myself as well, that modding is a very stupid idea. I was soooo surprised that my body couldn't handle even a lesser amount than what I usually drank. I spent one day just puking and wishing I could die! Measured the rest of the wine to figure out how much I drank, because I blacked out...

                But now I know, for sure, for myself. Just so thankful it was short and that no family or friends know about it.

                      I'm a member of a society that calls it's self out of the ashes, The Phoenix.......it's a retirement group that alines it's self with my Govt. affiliation. I think that this symbol should also make itself a symbol of over coming alcohol addiction ! Will start a thread for it.....see if it takes off. Tony

                        Thanks, NL, so much. I could have written a similar story, but am not nearly as brave as you! I'm back after a relapse, myself, and you are a true inspiration. So glad I read this today. Blessings and praise to you!

                          WOW, incredible.....I dont know how I missed this the first time through.


                          Making it six years AF is something that seems like a lifetime away...too cool for you to have made it that long.

                          I LOVE your spirit about not letting a daredevil cookie monster win....lmdao! But Im pretty competitive mydaymself and not ready to lose....he hee

                          You should be very proud of getting so close to a year..and I can not WAIT to dust of a nelzstar for you!!!

                            Hi everyone,

                            Gotta make something clear. This original post was a while ago and someone has brought it forward which I don't mind at all.

                            BTW - I'm still going strong and in 17 days I'll be a whole year AF - again!

                            Peace, love and strength to all those seeking sobriety - or whatever for that matter.

                            Hugs, Nicey.
