Awwww Riker, you haven`t let anyone down, least of all yourself.

I tried to moderate before going AF, so had lots of false starts.

Like you say, it`s simply a blip, and you`re back on track today..........great stuff!!!

Riker, You didn't let me down. You let yourself down. I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way the last time I caved to the crave. I was so upset because I thought I let the MWO family down but I now know everyone here has been through it, including me. So don't beat yourself up, my friend. You know what you have to do. Pick yourself up and get back on that horse and I'll bet the next time The Beast comes a knockin you will do some serious bitch slappin'! Just start over, Riker. It was a lapse, don't let it be a relapse into your previous drinking habits. We're here for you. .. Don

Welcome Janka & Heatheronthelake

Just read your new one Janka. Keep it up and don't let the bugger get you down. This isn't marriage counceling here but a lot of us myself included have to "put up" with drinkers all around us including wives/husbands. They have not been through our torture and therefore through no fault of their own, basically have little or no idea. Mind you your husband should know better- I think he's scared.
Anyway chaps and chapesses welcome. I'm glad you have taken the plunge and found MWO. I found it by accident too. (see threads by Bashley).
This site and the great people posting here have helped me immensly where AA meetings couldn't. I was invariably one of the ones you spoke of reeking of drinks from the night before!!
Keep posting and reading.
Best of luck
Bashley
