    Tail Between the Legs Thread

    Hi Daisy. It is really odd don't you think? It just seems to be going on and on. Yes please, let's stick together and get back on track. Been feeling out the loop and not really knowing where to post tbh. Keep it simple and rack up some days?

      Tail Between the Legs Thread

      Hey all - I do love this thread. Happy to see Tipp back. I just wanted to say that you are welcome on One Step at a Time. We are mainly trying to be AF there. But, we are supportive. No judgement. I don't know if you are trying to moderate. I can't. Plain & simple. Been there, done that. Of course, after a few months, I seem to have the need to try again. Anyway, I'm currently on Day 9. My goal is to have as many AF days as I can. If that gives me a lifetime of no alcohol then what a bonus. I just take it One Step at a Time now instead of looking at it as forever.
      Take care.

          Nora C, I read your post somewhere about your friends at a Hallowen Party. Hope u don't think I am rude, but it made me laugh so much!! It was just so funny and reminded me of a similar New Years Eve Party, We were all in the spa (sober of course ha ha) and I put my hand over the edge and pulled out a live electric cable. How I didn't kill everyone is a miracle!!!!:H:H:H

            Hi, I'm looking for a thread to belong to.
            New to Mwo 2 weeks ago and apparently offended people unknowingly. Now members tell me to check out other threads that are not as divisive so I'm Just testing waters after bruised egos and still wanting find a home away from the nesters., Heard this thread maybe less controversial.

            Hope to park here and observe and get Ro know you. By the way, my phone thinks Ro means to so just substitute any Ro s w to and you will understand what I mean

              :H:H:H I even left out some of the details. Finding the guy that threw up everywhere under our kitchen sink after we got home. Leaving the guy that was flirting with the neighbor at the party and my husband had to go pick him up.

                With the Halloween holidays, it is likely there will be drinking opportunities every night with anyone I come across. So I am again going AF. I find it so hard to get back after a slip but I don't want to keep going until I am desperate again.

                  Hey guys, we all seem to be on the same wave length over here. Just like women who hang together eventually mensturate together...

                  I went to a Hallowe'en party on Saturday and did not drink. Parties with the French speaking crowd are the worst for me as I am English speaking and feel so left out all the time. Hubs is French; that's why we go (not often thank Gawd). I decided to start, yet again, my sobriety in this situation because if I can abstain at this time, I should be able to abstain anytime... or so one would think.

                  What I am doing now is something I have always wanted to do. I am writing a book. It's about my recovery from being alcohol dependent. The most painful part of the book is a work in progress and that is listing all the things I have done in life that I am ashamed of. This is imperative in order for me to look at the truth in the eye and to work on self-forgiveness. I have been working on it diligently for about a week. We'll see where that leads.

                  So glad to see you familiar peeps and the new additions to our Tail Between Legs thread. Will report in later. Very busy at work.

                      Checking in, feeling really sad and really bad - not managing to crack this and getting so upset with myself. Lots going on and I am so strong not to drink in the mornings, then daily something happens and I drink in the evenings - so disgusted with myself - I know I am not helping myself at all....had a long night last night really trying to work things out in my head, I know what I want, but struggling to get there.
                      Don't give up on me, I really feel ashamed enough that I wasn't going to post for a while, but that won't help me any - so back here again and humble.......

                          Hi Scotlass; don't you go beating yourself up. You are in good company. Myself and quite a few others are back on day 1!
                          Take a look at Kuya's post in the Newbies Nest - it is very good and you might get a little strength from it.

                            SL - We won't give up on you...but don't give up on yourself either ok?

                            I never, ever, ever would have thought I'd beat this beast (and who says I have? It's still ODAAT...). But I can say that he is currently in a deep coma, but he could wake up any day...which is why it will always be something I am on the lookout for. If this were easy wouldn't all of us just wake up one day and say "I'm done drinking!" and never go back? Yeah...if only! Hang in there...that's all any of us can do!
                            :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

                            Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

                              Hi Scottish Lass and Daisy,

                              I, too, am back on Day 1. This last weekend seems to have been incredibly difficult for many, many people. I'm not very computer savvy, but I did manage to post on the newbies nest roll call. There were several people posting day 1, when I was on there. I've seen lots of others starting their day 1s today on other threads.
                              I am somewhat confused by all the different threads. I have done my best to reach out and encourage people that are struggling, as I am, but out of many different posts on many different threads, I have received very few responses. (Thank you alcoholic.) I was beginning to feel invisible and frankly with this being the weakest time of day for me, and it being day 1, yes I am feeling overly sensitive and emotional, so please no 'pity party' lectures. Not today, anyway. I'm already so close to saying to myself: see, I don't even connect with people here. Then the next thing I know, it's out for some liquid comfort from my psuedo-friend, wine.
                              AF since 12/2/12

                                K9, Daisy and FF - thank you so much....
                                I do wish there was a way to really remember how bad we want to kick this when the horrible feelings pass - how quickly we forget.
                                I did read Kuyas post - very interesting and so true....
                                Happy to be in good company on this today 1 - maybe we will have strength in numbers?
                                I do appreciate the support.....
