HELP!!

Hi

really need to join this group.

Had been AF for 3 days was feeling good and in control but went to a compulsory work conference and of course drank, after one i was actually bored and was ready to go, but my feet didn't move and ended up staying until 1am.............. i remember getting in the cab but not getting home, which is normal practise. So annoyed with myself, but so hard at those things as i feel self conscious and makes things easier.

Anyway, i need to get back on it, and learn how to cope with social situations without having a drink............

Thanks

HELP!!

I would stay away from social situations and bars, for a while. I don't think I could walk into a bar and watch everyone drink beer. Right now, my haven is home and my family which are supporting my husband and I.

HELP!!

I agree. I am avoiding everything right now. My family cocoon is safe - even though they don't know I'm doing this AF thing. I tried to hang around friends that smoked when I tried to quit smoking two years ago and just ended up bumming "just one" from them. Still a smoker. Use any excuse to avoid these situations as you can think of and take it ODAT. xx

[Thankful]

HELP!!

Lausibel,

You have to to reaffirm the commitment to yourself and not let anything ever take that away from you!!! Ever!

Chin up today! No guilt, no shame! Pick yourself up and dust yourself off. Lots of water and rest today. You can do this if you really want to. It's hard but it's so worth it.

Read this book (again if neccessary). Read a lot of the insprational posts. Go to live Chat if you need to.

Keep the faith. You will get there. We are here to help.

Love, Me
