OK folks...I messed up

[last10years]

Felt I needed to inform all my new friends that all my optimism fell short tonight. I did drink a bottle of red wine. Although it used to be 2-3, I'm still disappointed. Sorry guys. Nevertheless, not going to feel sorry for myself. Not drunk and ready to keep the AF train running tomorrow. No pity, just pick myself up and move forward. Never tried the quitting thing, but now I know what cravings are! Hope I haven't disappointed too much... LT

You've GOT to remember that all of us have had slips, too! It's okay LT! I confess I'm a bit encouraged you're sad at yourself but only from the standpoint that it'll make you jump back on the AF bus tomorrow!...hey and you should be encouraged, too. If you're like me, before MWO if I drank too much one night, I didn't really care that much. Now that I've had consecutive day AF successes, I get frustrated with myself when I drink. Shake the sad and be happy that it'll hopefully be time, soon, for bed and tomorrow is another day. ODAT!!!

LT ~ I 100% agree with Yoga. Get back up, brush yourself off, and hop right back on the wagon! We are all here for you and we have all had moments like this. You have a great attitude and let that carry you on as well.

Thanks Yoga - yes, I've beat myself up as I've been so sure not to have any mistakes. I guess I can count my blessings...I didn't smoke and I got out of there before I really messed up with quantity. I can survive one red wine bottle and get back into AF tomorrow. Damn!!!!!!!! Thanks for the post. LT

Hey LT & Annie, it takes a lot of us several goes to get it right...but each time it gets a little easier if you just jump right back on the wagon. Get up, dust yourself down and plan for some more AF time. My good friend Startingover (who has many months of sobriety) always suggests to write down how crap you are feeling now...when you're tempted again read your notes...it's helped me.

LT - you absolutely do NOT need to apologize!!

As you know, and now others will (might as well jump on your wagon!)... I fell off my AF days after almost... Almost... 4 days.

Got haircut from hell. I've been wearing baseball cap the few times I've ventured out!

As much as I've said to myself it's petty and stupid... it doesn't seem that way. Would rather cave in and drink. ICK?

Have interview tomorrow... for a job I don't want... Ain't life grand??

Last10,

Have you checked out the toolbox thread yet? It's in the monthly abstainers section. It has lots of advice on dealing with the cravings and setting up a plan of action. It really helped me get through those first 2 weeks. So learn from this experience and on word and up word.
