    I'm back after having a 3 month set back

    I had quit drinking from Jan 7 to June 21 and decided I could moderate.
    Boy was I wrong.
    So it's day one again for me, now I know it has to be AF for me for life.
    I could just bang my head against the wall, for having to go through this again, the shakes and uneasiness, it sucks.

      Hi Mya,

      The good news is you know you can do it. Pain in the arse, yes, but still doable. And kudos for your personal honesty and the guts to come back. Looking forward to getting to know you.

          It is sad that you were not able to moderate. that is my ultimate goal and I have been there with much success.

          However I know that for most it is very difficult to moderator. I wish the best!!!!!

                  I am with ya. I did the same thing. I was only AF around 40 days when I went back to test the waters. I know that I cannot Mod. I am back on Day 2. Welcome back Mya.

                    Hey! I'm sorry you have to go through all this again. I know it's not easy. I hope you start feeling better soon. I honestly found that i couldn't mod. I'd start off well but i'd slowly slip back into ol habbits.

                          mya! Welcome back! I can't moderate. I was AF from 1987 - 1992 then thought I could have just one. The rest is history. Hang with us. You've proved you can do it! These nasty days will pass and you will feel like your old AF self soon!

                            Hi Mya -- You can do this again -- you know that road and have the map. Don't forget your supplements!
                            AF since Jan. 1, 2008 .... It all began right here


                            Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice, you made it now.

                              Hi mya.

                              I`m so glad you came back. I think it`s such an easy trap to fall into, you know.........lengthy AF period progresses to an attempt at mods, which goes disastrously into fully-fledged drinking again. So, OK. like myself, perhaps mods isn`t for you after all. Good on you for having the guts to acknowledge that and recommit to AF.
