Keep picking yourself and starting again. You will get there, sometimes it just takes time and its hard to change a habbit that we've been in for years with just a click of the fingure.. no matter how much its ruined our lifes!

Mauri,

What's so important is that YOU ARE STILL HERE! Giving in to temptation was one of the reasons that I stopped coming back (the last 2 times I tried to quit). If I had stayed here I may have been successful. Felt guilty - but good for you in realizing that this is what MWO is all about - support and NO JUDGEMENT! I bet the number of people out there who have tried to stop and were successful the very first time are few and far between.

You inspire me because of your positive attitude. Day 29 for me - still just dumbstruck that tomorrow will be 30 (and by the grace of God - I will get there!) You'll see - the AF days will just start outweighing the days you drink and you will feel so much better physically and mentally. HANG IN THERE! You are awesome!

I am with you and embarrassed to admit it. I make all kinds of commitments and don't change anything. I am making yet another attempt at day one. I have only been successful for six days in a row at best. I guess my first goal will be to match that. DAY ONE of (the first) SIX. Small goals. My excuse has always been that I don't drink as much as many others but I have come to realize that no matter how small or large one's consumption is we are all fighting the same demon. I am here with you Mauri and we'll stay strong for each other. You too Jenny and everyone else.

It's another sober weekend under my belt. 3 weeks for me today.

You keep fighting and you will start accumulating sober time and building on it. I havent felt this good in a long long time.

wishing you all the best this week. you can do it!

Hi, am a new poster. A mum of two kids (4 and 2) and old enough to know better. Am fed up of waking up every Monday morning with a stonking hangover, full of shame and feeling like such a loser.
I binge drink at home most weekends. Sundays are the worst as husband and I start early whilst making the sunday dinner.
Have always been a binge drinker but it's getting worse.
Hello anyway.

Hi mauritiusdodo:

Its not an offense to relapse. You can learn from the relapse, analyze it from every corner, like when? where? why? site? smell? sound?. Then reinforce your plan with the new information you gathered. Next time you will be better equipped to cope with that urge, if any.

Welcome back on-board - the journey continues, to better tomorrows....

All the best.

Keep trying. At some point, something will "click", and you'll find the determination to collect a lot of AF days. The important thing is to learn from your mistakes, read about what works for others, and never give up.

Yup me too Mauritiusdodo.

Another Monday - another bad morning - another day one.

It is true, at some point, something will "click", it happened to me

I think this is what happened to me. I started going to the gym the last two days and I am so ready to push myself but I know I'm not there yet, so I don't want to give in and throw away two whole days for two bottles of wine.

Yay for Campral

Hi Mauri and everyone. I started taking Campral 3 weeks ago tomorrow. The first week I didn't drink at all. The cravings were down to about 5 per cent instead of 100 per cent! Truly amazing. I have had two drinking days since but have sort of used them as a decision to treat myself and then get back on the wagon which i have the next day after pretty easily. I also found that when I did have my wine and a few brandy coffees I didn't scoff em down like I used to. Hope I'm not kidding myself when I say I decided to treat myself but I have gone from being pretty much drunk 6 days a week to being sober 6 days a week. A bloody miracle after 18 years of hard drinking.

I am lucky not to have had any side effects from Campral and I sure have not missed a dose even when I had drinks. In fact I look forward to my daily doses.Wasn't sure whether i wanted abstinence or mod when I started but just taking day at a time at the moment. Good luck to everyone with this journey. Will keep posting and let you all know if my seeming "miracle" is just a "mirage" !:new:
