Went out for dinner yesterday with my family......that old drinking thinking had me sucked in. Yes, I slipped after over 3 months AF, but this time I did not go back to daily drinking, so I must be ok now, able to be in control?!
Well, obviously not....as much as I wasn't daily drinking, thought I could have a few yesterday and go home.....no, I was out for almost 10 hours! No common sense whatsoever.....I do remember most of it, but I am so embarrassed that I was out in public like that.
I am quiet by nature and after chatting to so many people last night and being bubbly, drunken bubbly, I don't know how to handle a meeting if I come across some of the people who were there.
Another lesson learned....how dare I even contemplate being in control of a substance that will always be in control as long as I let it into my life.
I do not want to and will not go back to how things were.IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN

Hi daisy! I haven't been back to MWO for quite a while, but I got an email from a member that you were struggling? You had quite a good stretch going for you but you figured to test the waters again? You don't need any lectures from me, you know that one will never be enough for people like us! I'm coming up to 14 months sober soon, and have also started on quitting smoking. I did those 410 days one day at a time and I still do! There are lots of options to get help and support, make sure you're getting what you need, it makes the journey much easier!
You can do this, we all can! We just have to want to be sober more than we want to drink. The want has to be bigger than the need if you want this quit to stick! I know you can do it!
Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.Comment

Thanks J-vo and LC! On my way!
Cowboy, I can't even tell you what your post means to me.....thank you so much! You were instrumental helping me do so well in my last quit.....I know I slipped and I have to live with it, but I know in my heart I want to be sober more than I want to drink.
I think once the slip happens we land in that dangerous territory of kidding ourselves that things might be different this time. Even if I could stop the daily drinking and drink now and then, those occasional days have already become a minefield....there is no cut-off point for me.
As long as I have been here, when I slip I go back.....I want to get a grip right now.....not waste any more time.....
This is the year that I just keep on going until it sticks....day 2, but like Mr G says, who's counting?!IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN

On a totally different note......I got a private message from a man last night. It was very long and seems sincere. I went to school with him and we kissed a couple of times in my drunken days years ago.
He said some lovely things and that he has always felt a connection and we should get together and see how it goes.
I have always thought a lot of him but, I know he drinks....not sure if he drank a lot because of his divorce all those years ago but.....
Also, I don't know if I can fit a man into my life, but what if this could be good? Have not a clue what to do next.....IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN

So disappointed in myself. Back to square 1. I know I have learned loads but that doesn't sink in again until at least a week sober. Right now wanting to get day one again...want and need it to be tomorrow.......
Could do with a hand but feel I have no right to askIT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN

Good to see you, Daisy. Do whatever it takes tomorrow - even if that means a minute at a time. You deserve to be living free of addiction. And I know your grand baby is coming soon. Imagine if he or she never ever sees you as a drinker!! That was important to me and I was thrilled to beat the first arrival. You can start Right Now and always be a sober granny :hug:.

Daisy - So glad you made a quick comeback. Not only do you have a right to ask, it's so right that you did. There is a song I hear occassionaly that says, "stop holding on and just be held." So, I just want to say, stop holding on to al, and let yourself be held by us/MWO. We can make it together.Mary Lou

Good NoSugar. Day 1 almost done!
I know once I get into the swing of it I will be ok. The problem is once you go back you get into the swing of how things used to be, very quickly.
Kuya, the night it all went wrong was totally down to a stressful situation.....didn't help.....blanked things out for one night only, then brought the usual problems back again.....IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN
