WOW did I slip big time

[whenwillichange]

Went to the Rodeo Gala this weekend and don't seem to remember much after the first 30 minutes. Had been doing so well and cleansing my body. I was so sick yesterday and apparently at some point I fell, had a huge splinter in my hand and a bruise on my chest. Afraid to ask my boyfriend at what point that happened. It is amazing once that first glass of wine goes down the rest go down like water. I still feel bad today and had to face the docs I work with as we were at the head table with them. How embarressing.
Back on the correct path as of yesterday. So easy to be hard on yourself and feel crapy but that doesn't do any good either.
guess I need to keep asking
:when will I change"???

Sorry to hear this.
What was your plan for the weekend? Had you intended on moderate drinking or no drinking at all?
Be sure to go back to the Tool Box, revise you plan to avoid this in the future.

You will change when you make the firm commitment to do so.
I did & so can you

I hate myself for the rodeo analogy, but you just have to get back on the horse! :blush:

Your description of the 'fun day' you had sounds so familiar, I could have written it myself. Being hard on yourself and feeling crappy is unproductive, focus on the sober time you did have and how you can avoid similar slips in future would be more useful.

I have been there so many times, I know exactly where you are coming from. One day at a time and try to formulate a plan that will work for you, good luck! :l

Strength and hope to you - you don't have to live that way any more if you don't want to. There are lots of ways out there to get sober - keep trying until you find what works best for YOU.

Thanks for posting Whenwillchange.....I too, had a major slip...was 28 days AF and then had a bad situation happened and drank and drank and drank for 14 DAYS YIKES!!! Today is Day 2 and I am feeling better, great advice everyone and yes it's true in saying that it's so important to NOT make yourself feel crappy, it's makes it worse. I agree Vintage Girl, think of the times you were sober...for me I had a calendar and had put smiley faces on each day, it was so nice seeing that calendar almost full of smiley faces...wow what a great feeling. I look forward to experiencing that awesome feeling again....

Thanks everyone and best of luck...you are all in my prayers of happiness : )

Lots of hugs,
Janet

I forgot to add...when I drank for those 14 days, it felt as though I was kidnapped and now that I have stopped... my mind is clear, it's like I have returned to freedom...make sense..sounds corny but had to share it : )

We are all human

and nobody here will claim to be perfect. Brush yourself down, learn from the experience and give it another crack. You will succeed. 28 days was a mega achievement - you can do it again and for longer.

whenwillchange,
I get where your coming from...I fell on my face friday nite. An angel who I don't know picked me up and took me home. I pray no one I work with saw. Sounds like youre in the medical profession. Me too. I don't want to be thought of as a drunk but its the truth. Its what we do from here,right?
