Well after 17 days af i slipped up yesterday and drank a lot of wine. The craving got too much and i caved in. I'm disgusted with myself but i'll get to an AA meeting today and try get back on track. This demon drink is so powerfull i thought i was stronger. All i can is do is keep going and try to stay af as long as possible. Just thought i would share this as everyone is is alcoholic sure struggles daily i know i do.

Firefox,
Jump back on!! Good for you for getting back your goals immediately.
Several times I have gotten to 17 or 18 days and really slipped. I think that we start to get a little cocky!! Feel like we have a handle on this (or at least I do.) It is a very sneaky condition!!

Good ol' AL is always there to welcome us back under his wing. AL will always be there whether it be 1 day or many. We need to be vigilant as we travel this road and do our absolute best not to take the AL detour. But sometimes AL throws up roadblocks that are difficult to avoid no matter our driving experience. All we can do is our very best at the time.

But our problem does make the maneuvering very easy. When we do detour we need to get back on the road again asap.

Fox, are you taking any supplements? I have been taking L-Glutamine and the Kudko, but not all that regularly. I really believe that the supplements help with the cravings, at least I have found that to be true. Ill be honest, I slipped up yesterday as well, but it was a different kind of a slip. I actually didnt even really have a craving, I guess I just did it, well, cause thats just what I do! If I had been in a stronger frame of mind I could have said no. I think I was just bored or something.

I remember those awful cravings. They just seemed so over powering in the early days of recovery. The more AF time that I got the easier they are to deal with. I really counting on Meds in the beginning and I found that buying Baclofen from an On Line pharmacy was the best thing that I ever did for myself. If you want to go the natural route then L~Glut powder under the tongue will surly help stop those cravings. You can buy it from Ebay and plenty of the health food stores will ship to Ireland for a few dollars more. Get the sups you need to help you thru the next time the cravings come a knocking........which they are sure to do !!!

Hey, we all have slipped from time to time, it is a lesson in progress, pick yourself up and start again. I find that the more slips I handle the more I learn.

Keep your chin up........

Come on- take our hands- we'll lift you back on the saddle again It's happened to many of us, and I have taken the advise from many of my friends at MWO, Dust yourself off, take some deep breaths, and put the guilt away. Time to look forward to tomorrow!

My mondays are always blue, but come friday - drinking drinking drinking. Monday I'm very angry at myself again. How does one quit this demon???

Hi again i haven't tried any of the supplements i have seen here but i will look in to it. I do take vitimin as heavy drinking depletes it from your body. I'll check the med section of the forum and do more reseach thanks everyone.
