Holy cow, weâre twins! 
Joking, but man, you nailed some key points that really hit home for me. Thank you for sharing this, and wow I am amazed by your 52 weeks, soon to be 1 year! It really gives me hope that I am heading in the right direction and can keep working on these aspects of myself. Congratulations!

I failed. I had to reset my clock. I am so incredibly disappointed with myself and hate myself so much. I only made it four effing days sober and fell off the wine wagon. I could make a million excuses about why I took that first sip at 7pm, but I wonât. Because it doesnât matter. I was weak. I am weak. I was it worth it? Nope. Not at all. I feel like shit today, even moreso because Iâm mentally aware now. Please tell me this setback doesnât mean I canât this.

Light therapy in general works well for a certain group of people, especially those with seasonal affective disorder. I know for me it works well in getting me up and running in the morning when I get up in the dark. I spend 30 minutes behind my computer screen, on TS, with my sad lamp to the side of it.

Of course you can do this. All this negative self talk is your addiction speaking. Itâs a strong opponent but we are stronger together. What triggered you, what did you think to achieve by drinking? Learn from what happened so you can withstand the temptation next time. So it wonât be all for nought. Welcome back. Glad you are right back at it. Letâs do this!

You came back here to check in, you were honest and you express that you want change. That is success for today! You absolutely can do this. Try again and always try adding more tools to your toolbox. Think about what led up to your slip and what you can do to prevent it in the future. And keep coming back.

What a great share. 
I noticed you were back a few days ago. I never did like that bug 
of yours before. 
You sound really good. At least for today. I know from my sister with MS that even though she may sound good doesnât mean sheâs not in pain. Great job on your 17 days. Really happy for you. I can imagine and relate to your struggles as a father who has a bi polar son in recovery. Given the right meds and getting the support, recovery and a good life is possible. He had a year sober and crashed for a week because he went off his meds. For the second time 
. Now heâs 5 and a half years sober + 1
Again. Great to have you back. God bless you.

Great job on 2 days. I like guided meditations to slow down my over active brain. I use the Breethe app. Itâs takes some work to get into meditating on a regular basis. I always thought I was doing it wrong because my mind kept wondering. And then Iâd get frustrated. Or Iâd fall asleep. But you know what? Thatâs ok. Bring your mind back with your breathing. I had mediation CDâs for my pre and post surgeries. It was a mind life saver. They couldnât believe how low my blood pressure was. They were really impressed. The Breethe app has many categories too. They even had a election stress meditations. I was using that every day the end of October.

It is standard therapy for SAD. You have to spend quite a while next to it but it can be set up on a desk or wherever you would spend time anyway.

No need to beat yourself up. I can understand your self-doubt but most of us here have fallen down, I have several times. In the end it is those who pick themselves up and keep going who will succeed.

Checking in for the day.
Intentionally setting my attention on just today.
Too much needless worry and stress lately over the future and âwhat ifâsâ. Focusing my attention on âwhat isâ.

I is here! 
Caught myself getting frustrated with some things I was seeing on here and it was getting harder to not engage. Decided to step back for a few days and get some perspective, instead of getting caught up in petty stuff.
Thanks for checking and Donna is @anon79808082 now.
