    Relapse/slip on 23/7/13

    Had a relapse while the cat was away the mice will play and that was me...
    Not had a drink since 24/7 need to change my date down the bottom, but right don't have time.
    Come across this card that someone give me a few years ago ....
    I need to read this every day because since January that how it been !

    Don't Quit

    When things go wrong as
    they sometimes will; when the
    road you're trudging seems all
    uphill; when funds are low and
    Debts are High and when you want to
    smile but you have to sigh; when care is
    pressing you down a bit rest,
    if you must, but don't you quit.
    Life is strange with its twists and turns
    as every one of us sometimes learns,
    and many a failure turns about when
    they might have won had they stuck it out.
    Don't give up thought the pace seems slow,
    and may succeed with
    another blow.
    Success is failure turned inside out,
    God's hidden gift in the clouds of doubt,
    You never can tell how close you are,
    it may be near when it seems so far.
    So stick to the fight when you're
    hardest hit.
    Its when things seem worst
    that you must not quit.

    Just wanted to post this today sorry if i cant reply back to your post don't have pc.

    Hiya Catch.

    Nice to see you mate.

    I like this from your quote above.

    You never can tell how close you are,
    it may be near when it seems so far.
    So stick to the fight when you're
    hardest hit.
    Its when things seem worst
    that you must not quit.

    How are you doing?

        Hi Catch and congrats on the new grandchild to be. I am yet to be a nanna but daughter getting married in November so not long away. Can you tell me what happened on the 23/7/13 that got you to drink again. Some years are better than others i always say and this year i am grateful that no one has died and my children are all ok (though one did come home with an ICE addiction) but he is doing really well. You do have a positive and you have beaten AL before. He is like a best friend in times of need problem is we dont need friends like that.

        Welcome back anyways and you are in the best place. x

          Thanks for the inspirational post Catch. Hope you are doing alright today.
          No matter how far you go or how fast you run, you can't get away from yourself. ....said at an AA meeting. It stuck with me.
