relapse yikes!

[magdalana]

Things were going quite well for about 4 days, but work got stressful.
I knew that my family was not going to be home, so I bought a bottle of wine, and just in case I bought a second bottle, I drank both and have had an awful day so far!!!
hung over and dissappointed in myself.

Back to day one.:upset:

Been there, done that! Hopefully you'll remember next time just how crap you feel today and how it's just not worth it! Damn al voices saying it's ok for us to do! Remember, it's the addiction talking and it's really not ok and not going to help.
Brush it off, pick yourself up and start again! Drink
Lots and lots of water!

seems to be a pretty common occurrence...jump right back on that horse and start again - things will look better tomorrow, like Softy said. Lilmichelle - you are right...my hubby just returned from out of town and stuck a bottle of vodka in the freezer. ugh. I've been fine without it in the house. But now that I know it's there, my mind keeps thinking about how I could sneak a little of it. This will be the toughest test, yet...:-( I guess if I'm too tempted I'll have to have that dreaded talk with him and tell him that I've been hiding it for several years and he needs to not have it in the house....yikes. That alone might be ammunition enough for me to not drink it....definitely don't want to have that talk. I've done it all on my own so far and tomorrow will be day 20. sigh

OMG same story for me 15 days ago Mags - same 'reason' too. We all have so much in common. That episode was the absolute turning point for me - I have proved once again that once I start I cannot control how much I drink. That scares me. Its just so true that this addiction/disease will only get worse over time never better unless we do something to stop it in its tracks. I don't want to get any worse!!!

I feel for you today and hope you can look after yourself and be kind to yourself. Help yourself to recover. Keep the way you feel, physically and emotionally fresh in your memory to help you to never do this again. Can't be good for us!!!!

Lolab that is really really tough - maybe the dreaded talk would be a better option afterall. Hope it all goes well for you - make good choices!

Yes we do seem to have quite alot in common. Finding different ways to deal with stress and anxiety can be very difficult.
thanks so much for the support.

Here's a little ditty that has been helping me:
Insanity: doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

I too, cannot moderate and have often wished I could. I have proven it over and over.
