Hi I was here for a while made it to six weeks sober and then I slipped and I’ve been resetting my counter every couple of days since…after a bad drunken episode yesterday I’m back and determined to stay away from alcohol forever I can’t allow this to happen ever again

I understand completely @Jen_lou. I’m on Day 3 after the some sort of scenario. Some sobriety…then disaster! It seems to get worse for me every time I relapse. I’m so tired…I need and want sobriety so badly. Stay strong!

I made it 3 months sober, but about a month or so ago I had to reset my counter and after 10 days I need to reset again. I absolutely HATE myself for not being stronger!!

I am on day 29. I had to reset after 3 months too. My mindset had changed. I started thinking 1 drink isn’t going to kill me. Honestly I do believe this. The problem is I can’t have one drink. Sure, if someone bet me 1000 dollars to do it I could, I just know something changes in my brain. One drink turned into I can have a bottle of wine after work to a bottle of vodka to 24 hour drinking over a matter of weeks. I don’t like that person!!! Any time I find myself thinking a sip won’t hurt I think of all the hurtful things I have done to other people. How hurtful I have been to myself. I keep a list in case I somehow can’t recollect this. The one thing I can’t deny is never have I controlled my drinking for an extended period of time. I am a great person when not drinking. I am just an awful person when I am. At least that is why is working for me.

We just have to keep trying…I definitely convinced myself I could have just one or two and it’s fine…but inevitably it progresses back to black out drunk,now I have to stay strong with the absolutely no drinks at all rule this time

Same here I’m a horrible person when I’m drunk…absolutely horrible
Think about a great person you are now because you are not drinking! You may not feel it the first day(physically I think it took me 7 days), but you are on your way to clarity!

Hello I can’t fine the way to post o do a Chek in any topic, can you help me
@Jen_lou, I know this is hard work and it takes a lot of hard concentration. I know after 6 weeks you know that. You have to figure out what your triggers are and you have to stay away from them. When you feel one coming on you need to call somebody, you need to reach out to your higher power. Remember to thank your higher for the blessings that has been bestowed upon you. So you can get through the next step. I will be praying for you and you need to seriously sit down and have a talk with your higher power. Next time you want to use consider running to a meeting maybe you need to download a meeting on your phone good luck.
