I want to start a new thread for those that have slipped.
In August with the help of this forum I got my first seven days AF. I felt good, better than I felt in years. So I figured I would have just one tiny drink on Saturday, just one, and that would be it for the week. Hahaha. I had to go to work two days later to go to work, and had been continuously drunk for 48 hours. Ugh.
I felt bad. I didn't come back to the forum because of what I had said.
Then I did come back, and I realized how many of us here slip all the time. It's not slipping that's the problem. That's just a part of the process. It's failing to get back up that's the key. It's too easy to slide into old habits, and not go through the work to build new habits.
In August I did Day 2 eight times, and Day 3 three times. I'm now an expert on Day 2 and Day 3. Frankly, they hurt so bad one of my huge incentives is to never go through that process again! I'm back today, finishing Day 7 for the second time, and this time I'm not going for that "one tiny drink" that undid me a month ago. I hope just to keep going as I am for a while. No big agenda on how many days. Just for a while.
But if I slip, I'll still be back. I hope others can join me in getting up and trying again.
