    FALL FROM GRACE

    Well, I ditto what everybody else said! You couldn't find any more understanding a crowd than us. We've lived it!
    I'm so sorry it happened, just know that we are right here by your side fighting this with you. You are never alone here!!
    Try to let it go and move forward....it only takes a couple good AF days and you'll be right as rain again. Much love and admiration, Byrdie

      FALL FROM GRACE

      Hiya Ann,

      I just want to add in my tuppence worth here too. It's been said already but what is done is done. You made a mistake that I would wager every person on MWO has made at some point. You are back, though, and we are glad to have you.

              The farther any of us are away from our last drink brings us closer to our next. A saying from AA.

              I am glad you made it back.

              I am glad you are here.

              You do have the strength you need inside you, especially with all the support here.
              So many wise words on this thread. These two stuck out in particular to me. Love and strength to you Ann. I think most of us are working on learning to love ourselves. :l

                  Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back on your horse, it's all ya can do. Rootin for ya.
                  Success is making yourself do the thing you need to do, when you need to do it, whether you like it or not.
                  If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything.

                    FALL FROM GRACE

                    Don't think of it as starting over, think of it as a bump in the road. Most of us hit them at one time or another and lots of us hit big ones...very few of us get on this path and don't. You didn't lose all of the sober time you had before... imagine where you'd be right now if you'd been drinking all that time. Sobriety isn't a challenge to see how long you can go without a drink, it's a challenge to see how much better we can make our lives and the lives of those around us. Glad you made it back, hugs!

                      FALL FROM GRACE

                      THANK YOU AGAIN

                      I still don't even know what to think or say. I'm a bit overwhelmed after ending a 3 year relationship, and having to move very soon.

                      I still have my antabuse, of course, and I'm taking it. The day of the "fall" I was feeling very down and hopeless. I reached out to a few people but they were busy. This is no excuse-just sayin'. It did not matter; I was heading for a fall anyway and apparently forgot my skills to stay off that horrible path. It was truly a terrible day.

                      I'm sticking around here several times a day like I always did. Clearly I need to do that.


                      Gratitude to all

                        FALL FROM GRACE

                        Hi Ann, sticking close to the nest is a good idea. I had a stumble a couple of weeks back and like you didn't feel too good about it: self-loathing, guilt, shame, remorse - you know the stuff. Little Beagle said that alcoholism is an illness of the soul and I couldn't agree more with that assertion. I always feel, after a spree, that my soul, my spirit, has been ripped out from me and that I am about to die a most horrible death. The only way I can stop that ever happening again is to ensure I don't lift a drink again. I hope your ship steadies and that you can move forward soon.

                          FALL FROM GRACE

                          Thanks Neddy

                          I'm really busy with prep for moving, so I know I'll be OK for a while. The thing to watch for is when I get settled after this move and complacent.
                          But I made it nearly 8 months so I know I can get this right. Sometimes it's hard to know how to be sober in the world.

                          I appreciate your support very much

                            I know what you mean about complacency: I am going back to work next week after being on holiday for six weeks and I am going back to an old routine. I will have to be extra vigilant for a while to make sure that I don't fall back into bad, destructive habits.
