Kaddy,

:l:l

I know. I have been there done that. Okay?

It hurts but it hurts worse to stay off the wagon and get dragged.

Get back on the wagon.

Love you,
Cindi

Have been there Kaddy. Did nearly 5 years and fell straight back into it.
Get back on the saddle and start again. Dont linger on it o.k?

Kaddy, no one says you can't hop right back on the wagon...we all have bumps here and there.

You can do it!!

Kaddy, Falling off the wagon does not undo the 8 months of AF you accomplished IMO......don't look back...keep looking forward...Sending love and support, Gaia:l

Hi, Kaddy, of course I echo what everyone above has said. Just wondering: what are you trying to "get your head around"? In other words, what are your thoughts and ideas about how the relapse happened, and how to keep it from happening again?

I'm right there with you right now, Kaddy!

Although I have never made it made it to 8 months! Congratulations on that!

So rightfully I may not be the best person for advise here. However I wanted you to know that you're not alone and I thank you for the post because everyone's replies have helped me. One2Many...I really enjoyed the bamboo story.

I did three weeks AF, which for me is huge. Then...I went on vacation for 2 weeks, and went a little crazy.

Just got back and the hardest part for me is starting the "not drinking" thing. I think I was able to go 3 weeks AF b/c I told myself that I was going drink on my trip. Now I don't know whether to use Halloween as a date? I am going to a big party and...then go until Thanksgiving dinner...then Christmas....???????? If I could just drink once or twice a month???????

That's what I really love about this board is that there is no right or wrong way, just my and your way out. What we do have in common is the recognition that we don't want our old drinking habits any longer.

What I'm going to try to do is 1) Exercise 2) Come to these MWO boards and 3) Try to recall the good things I enjoyed those 3 weeks (for you 8 MONTHS!) that I didn't drink.

Good Luck and I'll see you on the wagon!

Kaddy,
That 8 months does really matter. Don't let this get u down, just get right back up on that wagon. I have had the same experiences; long periods of sobriety, then bam! Drinking bender, and once I start, I do not stop for 2-3 days, then feel like shit for 3-4 days. It is sooo not worth it. Jump right back on. You know that you can do this.:l

Kaddy, hang tough and keep the faith. I have had several slips this year and feel I learned from them and each time I got back on the bike my resolve was stronger. 8 months is awesome. Today is a new day.

Kaddy...no big deal ok? You did 8 months...you had a slip up. Its amazing that you were able to go that long. You are clearly a motivated idividual. Let's just move on and forget what happened. Like cmhguy said...today is a new day!

Hello Kaddy Great job for 8 months AF. You will do it again. I'm in the same boat with you. I'm on day one again AF. I know you can do it again. We just need to stick together. I can't row this boat alone. I need your help just as much as you need ours. So help me row this boat one more day. Try to smile today. I finally did!
