Give yourself credit for going on those days without a drink. Each day you didn't drink your body was working on getting better. This doesn't have to be a bad thing, it can be a learning thing.

I am day 1 myself and feeling out of sorts. I guess it's just something at times that happens and best to not beat yourself up over it.

If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you, You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call failure is not falling down, its staying down...odaat

Aw geez man, I hear your pain, did the same last Friday, and may well have toasted my marriage because of it. Its tough but you have to soldier on.

STC,

I understand how you feel. I havent seen 10 days sober in a long long time. Pick yourself up and start again. Figure out why you decided to get wine and learn from that decision.

best of luck to you!

Very well said as usual Mario.
Just get back on your bike STC. Stay here and read a lot about other people's experiences, and get those first few critical days under your belt.

Hello stopthecycle,

And hello to everyone else struggling. Don't waste a minute of your time beating yourself up, it does no good!
What does help is jumping back on the wagon asap and revisiting your plan. Make note of your triggers, what makes you decide to drink. What can you do differently in the future to advoid another fall?
Please feel free to join us on the 'Newbies Nest'. There's lots of folks there also just beginning their journeys, we can help each other, you are not alone!

Wishing you all the best.

Hi STC

Done it myself. After 3 days AF I bought wine and drank it, why? Felt awful, but I went straight back to it and today is the 18th day since. So I can say 18th day, but I can also say in 22 days I only drank once.

I made it to day 8 and fell off the wagon on my birthday. Drank all weekend so now is time to get back on track.

Climb aboard the wagon folks, we all know what its like to be at Day 1 but at least we're all trying and that's what matters.
Day 3 for me and I'm feeling so much better - catch me up .... I don't run fast!
