I was doing fine, had raked up a little time. not that much, about 90 days. the past week i lost it and have been drinking again. thought i'd post in here for some help. i really want to get the sobriety back. I got lost in the daily grind and forgot to put it first. i need help.

Well done on achieving 90 days AF -- that is fantastic!!
What tools were you using? Meds, suppliments etc?

Hey DeeBee, I wasn't using any meds. I was reading a lot of recovery stuff and posting a lot in another website. It felt really strong and good about quitting but about a week ago i slipped. at that point i drank every other night and then i drank the past two nights. i feel like crap today. i'm back at square one and i want to make it stick.

Mememe, don't hit yourself too bad. Just get up and make it stick! It's a lot faster to get back when you've done it already.

I should know. I've lost it a couple times so far in 2009.

Take it easy on yourself. Eat right. Get your blood sugar back on track and work on some good sleep.

The rest will come back quickly after that. Keep on posting, and focus on your commitments to yourself.

Me,

I believe a new beginning is a beautiful thing. We begin our lives every day with starting anew facing all new mysteries and unfoldments. If I sleep more than I should of I don't say to myself that I have ruined the day. I rearrange my life a little.
Pretend like you were "asleep" and that you lost some waking hours and all the beauty entailed.
It is a new day. Babies are being born today, someone found Love, there is an experience with a miracle somewhere close or far.

Some people begin singing their new song with "mememe" to clear their way and start clear.
Start your new song by facing who you already are.

Ignore the false representation of what the poison spills out.
Embrace the true melody of your being.

Create a new day and belong in its experience~

90 days was great- You hit a bump in the road. Get back up, and start all over again. Guilt accomplishes nothing Me- You are a winner!

Here, here on the 90-day accomplishment, MeMe! What a feat! I agree with the others on the "not being hard on yourself" thing. It's not exactly accurate to say you're back to square one with a 90-day AF stint in your recent history. There's a silly little quote I read on one of those daily motivational calendars that stuck with me:

"If you fell down yesterday, get up today."

Hey Everybody,
thanks for the words of encouragement. It really helps. I made it through today. Have to keep strong tomorrow as well. I'm a boy by the way. I like this site. i plan to post here everyday.

Well done on 90 days!!! That is fantastic. You can do it again, and we will be here to help.

hey everyone,
thanks! I'm going to stay focused on today. If i start thinking those ambiguous thoughts about the future and the past i get carried away and forget who i am and what i've done to myself. I'm an addict. I got addicted to alcohol. If i don't keep that fresh in my head everyday, old thought patterns and habits come back and i'm back drinking again. I don't want to drink. drinking sucks. It makes me feel like crap. I'm not going to forget that. It makes me feel like crap. When i don't drink i feel great. or at the very least good, or not like crap. Mornings without hangovers are a great thing. Thanks again for the encouragement. It helps to know there are others in the same boat.

I did 80 days mate. I slipped up too in a big way. I think what we have to remember is how we felt being AF. It's wonderful.

[mememe]

starting over again

made it another day. definitely thought about drinking. really glad didn't drink. remembered why i quit and focused on getting some good sober stuff over the summer. i can't drink, there's to many things to do and it gets in the way. Life's to short to be a drunk. too much fun to be had.

Well done on another day Mememe, its inspirational for us newbies to see people who have stumbled able pick themselves up, dust themselves off and get AF again.
I am on day 12, its going well and 90 days seems like Mt. Everest to me right now but YOU have done it and can do so again.
Keep safe
