If at first you fail

[Tink13]

Hi,

Sorry think I ambushed someone else's thread. Forgot how to do this.

Returning after a year, did it once or so I thought really got to kick this habit once and for all and be the person I want to be, not living in regret all the time. At 53 years of age I need to get it right.

Would luv some buddies along the way, it's so important.
:thanks: :

Hi Tink. No ambush, I tried to reply to your post and the site was so slow I gave up. Anyway welcome back!! As you know this is difficult but definitely doable. Am a little older than you and have had many day 1's. Right now I stand at 67 days and w/o hanging here I would most likely be drinking by now. Avail yourself of all the collective wisdom offered here and the camaraderie and you can do it. Don't forget the https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...box-27556.html / there is mucho info to get you going and keep going. So, take care and I look forward to reading of your progress!!

Hi, Tink:

There is no such thing as failing here if you keep coming back. The new education acronym for FAIL is First Attempt In Learning. Read that tool box and use the wisdom here and it CAN be your last.

I get a lot of help watching what the long-term sober people here do - keep an eye on them and heed their advice. You won't always want to hear it, but they DO speak the truth...

Hang tight. Waking up without guilt, shame and regret is a great feeling.

So agree Tink - see my signature - I took the long way round, it seems this time it may be sticking - I do hope so, but I will keep on trying no matter what.
Lots of us in a similar place, and it sounds as if you are serious about trying, so you will have lots of buddies here!

Thanks Pavati and Scottish lass,

Will be looking out for you and watching you progress and try and learn from all the great lessons people have to offer. Reading here is always inspirational .

Read about how much Glutamin helps, had forgotten that so started today. Just trying to think of other things to do in the evening apart from going out drinking. It has always been a big part of our social life. Guess ill have to avoid that until I'm stronger.

Thanks again

Tink
