She did ?! If you donā€™t mind me asking ā€¦ what happened? Any advise on how I can avoid that happening ? Iā€™ve made the decision to stop drinking but anything other than that ? This punishment phase sucks so bad. As for
You, fight through. Think of how sucker you will feel
Tomorrow if you give in and drink again. Not sure if that will help but I know I wouldnā€™t wanna feel
Even worse tomorrow. Whenever I would
Feel how you are feeling I definately get on my knees and pray or listen to meditation tunes on YouTube to try to calm me.

I was a POS, i was unappreciative. I would go off on massive binges, put on alot of weight. When i see how much i hurt her i never made the changes. I wish i would of quit drinking when she asked. I tried several times but my addiction always krept up. I dont blame her one bit for leaving. She gave me countless chances and i always messed them up.

Hi! I have reset the timer on here so many times. I was talking with my therapist yesterday and have never been completely honest with her, however, she highly suggested I participate in this app so here we go!
I too and back on day 1. I didnā€™t drink to black out last night so that is good. Every morning for the past week I have been waking up with the shakes.
Today is a new day. We got thisā€¦ā€¦

Hi, Iā€™m only 6 days sober myself, but I was in your position a few days ago with the absolutely horrific withdrawal symptoms and ended up in hospital. It was the best decision Iā€™ve ever made. I still have a few withdrawal symptoms now, but I no longer feel like absolute death.
Is hospital treatment an option for you, or do you have someone checking in on you, in case things get worse?

Had you told me a week ago Iā€™d be sober now, Iā€™d have laughed in your face! I lost my job, my family, my friends and my health. Although itā€™s an uphill struggle, Iā€™m managing, and you can too.

Please reach out for help if you can. Iā€™m proud of you for taking the steps to detox and sober up again. Be kind to yourself.

One thing that helped me (also have relapsed countless times) was telling myself ā€˜this is the last ever day 1 I ever have to get throughā€™. Sending you strength

My sponsor ended up in the hospital barely alive his last time drinking. He was a wreck. Jobless, homeless and at his bottom.

Heā€™s now got 10 years sober and even stopped smoking. Heā€™s a very respected guy in AA circles, turned things around quite some time ago and inspires many.

There IS hope. Get through detox, stay in touch and start on your way back up.

Seems to me like youā€™re doing great - youā€™re here.

Your past is past and you get to decide how to move forward; the shame and guilt will subside, but the lessons youā€™ve learned from all these experiences (good and bad) help you be your best!
