Jane, sorry to hear. It was so difficult when my dogs passed on- especially my 15 yo German Shepherd who helped me get through so much in my life. Such unconditional love that of which felt so undeserved. I am so ashamed of my many relapses, but I need to suck it up because AL is killing me. Thank you for your sobriety & support.

Jane and Ginger - Well crap... I'm so sorry to hear about Kuma and Ellie. I went through the same thing with my pup about 3 years ago and it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I still tear up just thinking about it.

My heart goes out to you both and to your pups as well. I know it sounds trite, but I do believe it is true that if Kuma and Ellie are suffering or not having good quality of life, your actions today are the kindest thing you can do for them. That doesn't make it any easier of course.

Welcome RG you cant go wrong being on loamers.

So sorry guys about your babies, just think of how happy they were that they got the sober you and werent constantly avoiding a confrontation when you were drunk by falling over them. i am sure my babies appreciate the sober mum they have in their lives especially maddy who is epileptic. I am sending you big hugs and lots of love. I know i will have to face this in the future and my heart breaks thinking about it but its an inevitable part of life, sadly.

LB give your hubs a hug for me. I am so proud of him, i know how hard it was for Liam to give up crack and for me being there. It is a horrible drug, like al that can suck your very soul away. That he has given up gives me goosebumps. I think for me giving up al was way easier than what Liam went through and i am so proud of liam also. he does not drink thankfully as he knows we have addictive personalities. You deserve a huge hug LB as you never gave up on him and i know from some of your posts how hard that was for you. Man life is great! Sorry about your butt though! xx

Pat keep on keeping on lovely, you have my work email, email a storm, keeps me away from work and up with the goss.

Well pouring down rain, an hour drive plus in peak hour. thank god i am sober. I can never figure out how i did this hungover daily or drunk. Its the little things in life that i appreciate now.

Hugs to all xxxx

Loamers,
I fell into a full relapse. This is day 1 for me. Right now, I am really down, as I should be. The last two weeks were the worst weeks of my summer. I drank last weekend and this past weekend. In between, I had miserable alcohol obsessions. So this wasn't a slip for me, it was a full-blown relapse. I'm apologizing to all of you here, as you take so much time into helping me, and you probably feel like it's a slap in the face. I can't hide from anyone here, as my conscience won't let me. I'm going to come back into our circle and do what I can to stay sober. Know that being back in throes of addiction is a horrible, nasty feeling. I hate it and I'm not myself. I'll do my best to support you girls, and I need the same. Thank you.

You have my empathy. Although it hasn't happened since I've been on MWO, I know that "down" feeling that comes with a relapse. So glad you came here, shared what you're going through, and reached out for help. I can't speak for anyone else but I personally don't feel slapped in the face - just sad for you that you're struggling and feeling so low.

What is your plan now? Do you have a good one you can start up with and get some AF days under your belt? Do you need help tweaking your plan?

:huggy

Hello ladies, just a quick note.

J-VO! Ava is coming over with the brick now...we have to get you back on track! Let's do this together babe.
Big hugs from me.

Daisy- thinking of you too.

Jane- so sorry about your dog. I know how much that sucks. xo

Anyway, I have to get going so I will post later.

First, so sorry for your losses Jane and Ginger. I know that day will be coming sooner as my doggie is 12 1/2 and he's already past the life span of his breed.:l

Wags, my plan is to work on gratification, being aware of the wonderful things sobriety gives to me, as i feel the emptiness right now as it's sucked everything good out of me. I need to work on getting that back, and I'm going to take it one day at a time. I'll continue to read what I can on addiction, post, and hopefully help others out of this nasty cycle of addiction. I'll stay connected to life and to my support system. Al is not for me, never will be, and takes away who I really am.

I'm going to post in the nest for a few weeks while I get my bearings. I love you girls, but I just need to get my grip back, and I think I will do best concentrating on one thread for a little while. I'm not going far. You know where you can find me! :l

Wags, way to go on your 100 days!! You are awesome! Very proud of you.

Pat, glad you had a good birthday with your son and you were sober. That is great.

Ginger, sorry about your dog.

Giraffe! A boob job? Holy Moley! Enjoy the girls, I bet they look great.

NS, I had Kombucha on my trip too. Crazy eh? I have been reading your great posts and I love them. You always have such good insight.

Hi, All:

A quick check in on my way to bed.

Jane and Ginger - so sorry about your dogs. They are lucky they were in your lives as you were lucky they were in yours.

LB - Congratulations to you and your husband - two BIG milestones.

For everyone - here's a radio story about the way some states are using recovery coaches to help beat addiction. Recovery Coach Helps... Sometimes people CAN'T do it alone. That's what we can do for each other, but since we are not in person, it only works if we reach out.

J-Vo - Stay with this quit - you can do it.

Night, all.

xo

......it is so easy to fall back into the drinking cycle of destruction......feel so foolish right now, but I know I need to be here to catch a grip again.....
All the good changes I made are already visibly slipping.....I know I can rescue that just by stopping now...
If anyone feels I am affecting this thread badly please just let me know....I value every one of you and will put the effort in.....

Daisy, I checked here several times yesterday, looking for a post from you. You and anyone else who wants to quit drinking is welcome here. There is no point to this thread if we don't all have as our main mission gaining and maintaining sobriety. People who are struggling can be helped by those who aren't and those who aren't are ultimately strengthened themselves by helping others. This is a group mission and having people like you come back quickly is one kind of group win - and it is a major victory for you.

We know the real you wants to quit, just as the real j-vo and the real Pat. I believe we are better able to keep that addicted section of our brain at bay by fully engaging here - reading, posting, getting, and giving support.

Welcome back :l.

This is why i know Daisy i can never take that one drink. You stay right where you are girl and dont go anywhere, if anything post more to stay accountable. We know as soon as someone is not on often it can really only mean one thing and that is they are drinking. Dont let those changes be given to al, they are worth way too much.

I am just devastated about Robin Williams, fuck addiction is all i can really express how i feel. We will never know what made him kill himself and i truly hope he is at peace but until we speak more openly about addiction how many more people will die to this.

I would truly hate it to be any of us but it shows how much of a hold it can have over our lives.
