    Feeling very fragile

    Please send me some love and encouragement - I'm back after and amazing few months of Af don't know what happened been drinking for 3 days. Husband is very mad and giving me a hard time which makes wanting to drink a much bigger temptation. Day 1 here we go again.

    Have the shakes feeling very low and depressed, wanted to take a bottle of Valium but stopped myself took 2 tablets only but they are not working. :upset:

    I know I can do this, just reaching out need a little cheer squad to pick me up

    I hate being back in this state again was doing a champion job of staying sober

    Hi

    don't panic, you need to just take time out, block out everything else and make being sober your priority. I can understand your husband's frustration however you need your space. Take it easy sometimes fear of withdrawl can make the symptoms worse. If you really start going into bad withdrawls go get medical help. Meantime plenty of water, food and chilling out time.

      G'day Maddie,

      Well done on day 1 and taking positive action. You chose not to descend any further into the madness, so good job friend. You can't undo your excellent run of recent AF time, so get back to it and try to work out what triggered you to begin drinking again this time, and see if you can learn some strategies you can have ready next time. You'll feel better in a day or 2.

      Go for it.

      G bloke.

        So sorry Maddie. I feel your frustration. Focus on breathing and maybe a warm shower win help relax you.

            You will get there Maddie. Going AF can be a cumulative thing for some - stops and starts. Don't beat yourself up and do this quit for yourself Best wishes

              Maddie getting through day one is a challenge, but you know how good it feels as the days build into weeks. You can be back there again. It's one day at a time.

                Maddie, what sent you back? Our triggers are so invisible some times. I think I can get a lot of AF time and then wham Bam Thank You M'am, I up and buy a bottle of rum at the grocery store and I just know I am going to use it to cope with the unhappiness and depression in my old, unhealthy, way....

                Here with you. Stay close...:l

                  Hi Maddie, just wanted to send you some good thoughts. Just try to remember how terrible alcohol makes your life, and how good you felt AF.

                  The most important thing is that you didn't give in to it longer, and that you're back here fighting.

                  Best to you,

                      Maddie - sorry I am late on this thread. Sending you thoughts of strength and calm. I fell off he wagon after 11 months and it took a long time to get back on. I am six months tomorrow, but I struggle more than I ever thought I would. We are all in this with you. You can do it. Don't beat yourself up over it. JUst try again. It will stick eventually!

                        MM: You can start your sobriety at any time, which is what you have done. Don't worry about your husband...you can deal w/him when you feel better. Once the alcohol is out of your system, you'll be able to think straight & make some good decisions.

                        I was in your shoes once. I've gotten sober coming here to MWO & AA. I was sober for 3 years & then "tried to drink normally" again. Of course that didn't work. I'm now almost 1 year sober & feel wonderful.

                        I can now cope normally w/life's ups & downs. One of the main reasons I drank was to avoid the difficulties of life. I now know that there is now avoidance. I'm learning to cope & strategize at a very advanced age.

                        Good luck.
