I thought it was easy !

Well, I have egg on my face.

I went two hourts short of twenty four days AF. God knows why I cracked because it was all going so very well. In short I thought I had it well and truly beaten, but the little voice in my head told me it would be OK to have a few social drinks..and it won. The result was that I had a little too much to drink last night. My wife is disappointed, but as I said to her, not as disappointed as I am !

I thought it so easy, so now I start all over again.

Amen, amen, amen!!! You just try again. Strong work and strong plan. I consider my (numerious) failures as practice for when I get 'er done :-)

Yep. I know. And I know that there are lots of us here who empathize. I did 30 days this spring, and then messed up only a few days later. We can do this. Keep reading and posting, and day by day we'll get through this. Good luck!

morning Tim,

Look at it this way,
now you know what you don't want to do.
Don't get discouraged. I did the same thing and after about a week AF I had a glass and a half of wine, Even just that small amount made me feel sick. I havn't had one since. I still think about it every day though. I hope one day I won't even think about it anymore.
Don't beat your self up it will only work against you. Don't give yourself permission to drink just live and learn.

Keep on going for it, Timpin. Every setback is a learning opportunity.

Congrats on your almost-24-hours ... I know how big of a deal it can be to get 24 hours in. Heck, I was proud of myself at the 12 and 18 hour points when I was starting out. Rather than being disappointed, be proud of what you accomplished ... and go for it again, but this time you can be armed with a plan to get past those last couple of hours if they happen to pose a "threat" again.

Let us know how it goes!

Failure seldom stops you, what stops you is the fear of failure. odaat.

Well done on the almost 24 hours.

It was actually almost 24 days guys !! That's why I felt so bad. However, I have had a couple fo night drink free and cut down by half. I am now waiting for an opportunity to stop altogether again. I am planning this time rather than just going for it. thanks for all the support.
