Here I am again!

Damn it! I had 14 days a few weeks ago, family arrived from out of town for a couple of weeks, thought I could moderate, but ended up helpless again. This has got to stop...so here I am Day 1 again.

You sound like me, just keep trying. I hate to keep talking about my quitting smoking but it's so similar. I was the laughing stock at work because I was always quitiing and always failing. It took me several years and I tried several different things before I finally manage to quit. I have been off for two years now. I know me kicking the booze will be the same way. I am convenced that if I just keep trying I'll be free, I know it. Never give up no matter what. Everyday Af is more valuable than a lifetime of drunkeness. Just keep trying, over and over if you have too.

Hey, Day 1 is a great day! It's a fresh start day....and we all need those once in a while on everything.

Just keep looking forward to those day 2s. 3s, 4s, 1 week, etc etc etc

Welcome back Nun,
Success doesn't happen overnight. The important thing, as others have said, is that we keep trying and never give up. I look forward to your future posts. Have a great DAY1. kriger

Are you really sick?

I've had quite a few day 1's and it means there is hope. I'm on (another) Day 2 and feel hopeful. This is a great place to come because no one makes you feel less for slipping, they only offer hope and encouragement. You're back - that's what counts. Liz

Hi Nun,

Glad to see you're back! You're in good company - if we'd all managed our sobriety the first time we tried we probably wouldn't be here. But for the first time I feel I have a shot at managing for the long haul and you do, too. It may not feel like much to start anew, but that is HUGE. That willingness to redirect our energies and focus on our sobriety yet again means we're flexing a newfound muscle. No walking away this time. We mean it. We're not going to take no for an answer. You get the picture. So good to hear from you.

Family does me in too. I see them about once or twice a year and I don't know why it is so stressful. It could be my mother's drinking so I drink too so I don't notice as much. Numb the pain as they say. But of course...it doesn't stop the day I return. I have to quit all over again. so here I am again.

Families can be such a trigger. But if it weren't them, it'd be something else. Best we recognize them and take action. I'll be doing some action-taking myself before Labor Day weekend - visiting the parents. I vote we demote our triggers to mere pest status (but you must swear to never tell my Mother I put her and pest in the same sentence!).
