I don't know why.

Yesterday, after 4 great AF days, I convinced myself that I could have 1 glass of wine. A whole bottle later & feeling awful, I'm asking myself what set me off. Nothing. I guess I wasn't vigilant.

Ret, Don't be too hard on yourself. You have gone through years of programming your brain to do one thing so you can't expect to suddenly change. Rome wasn't built in a day. Your here now and it's good to have you!

It's strange, because on Thursday I was able to refuse free (lovely) wine at a luncheon w/friends. Yesterday, w/no pressure, stress, or any other motivation, I took a drink & kept on. I don't know why.

I guess that's the way it goes my friend. It's a cunning monster the old acoholism.
I felt on top of the world yesterday; today ifeel like shit.. I don't know why because I know I've done well, but there's a voice telling me my loneliness wil disappear, alll I have to do is go get a drink. I hate this.

Stay strong, you two. It does get a little easier the longer you go. But there is often two steps forward, then one step back. I had a step backward yesterday but have had MANY steps forwards as I am over two months nearly AF - there have been a few steps back but....keep going forward. One day at a time. Forgive yourself and quickly get back on track. That's progress!
