    Trying To Get Back On Track

    As many of you know, I went 30 days AF the month of June. Then I went on vacation two weeks ago and decided that it would be okay to drink. I foolishly thought that I could get back on track when I got back home. How wrong I was!

    My trigger was my Husband had bought wine and I didn't want to let it go to waste. Also, the sun, sand, blah blah blah.......Anyway, it totally derailed me. I was back into the same old bad habits that I had before I went 30 days.

    Today is Day 1 for me....again. I dumped the AL in the house down the drain. I went back to my counselor yesterday and I am starting fresh.

    My little piece of advise, for what its worth, is that for those of you that think it might be okay to drink and that you can easily get back on track......don't fool yourself! I haven't read one post from anyone on here that didn't have a harder time starting over, once they made the decision to drink. I wish like hell I had thought about this before I took that first drink 2 weeks ago.

    When I started back in June, I remember posting about 30 days and then what? Now my thoughts are different, I don't want to drink anymore period. I am sick and tired of doing this dance with AL...it just isn't fun anymore!

    Hope everyone has a great Sunday....thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

    Miley you go girl. Pitching the AL in the house is a good move. Is hubby on board now? Don't kick yourself too hard ok? You're back on track and all the wiser!

      Thanks June! Hubby is on board and I'm not kicking myself too hard. I am learning a lot which is only going to help me and hopefully others. Looks like you are doing well in your AF quest.....awesome!

              I agree it's a great post Miley - for anyone who is considering "just one" or "I'll jump right back on my sober track" - it's just not that easy to do. Thanks for sharing. :h

                The same thing happened to me in June. I reached 30 days for the first time ever and decided to 'celebrate' with a glass of wine. It's been ongoing ever since.

                How about being accountable to each other? Day one for me... Wine is my poison of choice too.

                          Miley, I know how easy it is to fall. We did it just about the same time. But I hear true resolve you voice, so I know you are going to make it We can do this! And you are right, it can't be situational...vacation, out-of-town-guests, work stress, etc. We need to make sobriety the constant.
                          Everything is going to be amazing
