Hi UW, Irie, et al...
Still here, I'm quite a lurker on many of the threads. I'm on day 3 again. I had a couple of slips last week and I'm not totally confident to continue thru this week. Friday is my birthday and I feel a little fragile. It can be hard to keep it simple and just get thru one day at a time. Thank you for checking in on us UW. Irie, SL, mum of 2, Jane, ml, Lg....I'm trying to remember everyone. How are you all? Please post.

Hey Ishy - my day 4!! we are back on same track again. For some reason, feeling a bit better this time, I am sleeping which may help!!
I cut down my goal form a month to 7 days, that could be a help too?? Not too unachievable, though the way i went in Feb, who knows - anyway almost half way to this goal...
Hi Jane, Irie, UW, Herbie, mom, mL and all the rest.....

Hi Guys, I was wondering how Irie is doing? Library Girl, I love your car and accident analogy...quite perfect...one would be grateful for not getting into a serious accident if one had a minor accident and could continue the journey. Irie, we are all pulling for you...it's never too late to get back in "drive" and push forward instead of in reverse!

Well done to everyone else following this thread! Hang in there!

Hello there? Where are you Irie?
I feel stupid posting....but I think the more I "confess" I gain more clarity and focus. So here goes, I drank last night, it was my birthday and I drank the night before for no good reason. It's amazing how drinking days fly by and suddenly it's everyday again but when not drinking the days are so hard to rack up!!!!
Today is day one for me, I do not foresee any occasions or events that should prevent me from abstaining damn it!
How's everyone doing today?

Good for you Ishy for coming right back here and posting. Most people just go away, like I have. The brave thing to do is to come back, admit what you've done, and get right back on the wagon. Well done.

Hope you are ok Irie??

Irie - i have been thinking of you and hope you are ok, haven't heard from you since the end of Feb - maybe you are doing what I have done and reading a bit, but not posting - whatever, just wanted to drop a line and say thinking of you....take care...

Ishy, I am still struggling with this too - getting better (meaning I am drinking so much less) but not quite managing to get to the total goal....but feel stronger and more resilient each time, I am obviously chosing the long road to get to where I want to be, but I do think by hook or by crook I will get there...thou be it, not as fast as I would like...I am managing to acknowledge that I am so very much better than I was just a year ago and had lived that way for many many years, so this is an enormous improvement, and that is fine by me!

Well, I'm back, thank God. I really can't quite explain what's been going on with me for the last few weeks. Once I broke my streak of AF days, I just could not get back on the wagon. I would start every morning with very strong plans to be successful but predictably by late afternoon I was back in the bottle.

I kept trying to tell myself to come back to this board because I knew it would help, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Shamefully, I think what was holding me back was the thought (over and over) that I would give myself just one more day of drinking before I came back to give it my best again.

I did not enjoy even one of the days that I was drinking. Lesson learned! I hope that this will be my final quit. If it's not then I pray to have the strength to continue to log on here as I really believe that this site is the strongest tool that I have in this battle.

I've missed you and hope you are all doing well. I will go back and read your posts now. It took all my courage just to log on and get this post done. A big first step in the right direction.

Thanks, guys! I'm happy as a clam today, back in the fold. Tonight is a piece of cake. You couldn't force a drink down my throat. What a complicated thing breaking this habit is! Why were all the other days impossible? Who knows? I'm just happy that for today I can enjoy a sober evening. You can bet I'll be keeping in close touch!
