I relapsed yesterday… I didn’t went to that birthday party.
I was on long walk, trying to calm down my mind and there was a store… You know the rest of this story…
I’m feeling like a failure. Ashamed. Broken. Alone. I can’t think about anything, my brain isn’t work properly. It’s soo frustrating. This day is like nightmare or error in the system.
I have to pull oneself together and work harder.
Another 1st day.
Any advices how to stay sober?

Hey @GirlFromStore. You made 7 days. That was a record for you. Don’t give up. Just focus on being sober today. And I’m certain you will pull through this. Thanks for sharing. We all care about you.

Avoid the parties, connect with old friends, make goals (monetary has really helped me, saving all that money adds up), be honest with yourself! Relapses happen, but you hopefully get up and learn something.
Take care of your body and mind first, if something doesn’t feel right, listen. Always walk away and keep walking, you don’t need to stop at the liqour store- you can be cozy in bed with a restful sleep. Try not to dwell on your mistakes, face them and move on- that’s not you anymore! Be positive! Rise above your bad decisions and move forward with healthy and hopeful thoughts.
Much love and I’m here if you need to talk

Feeling the same way as you. Day 1 again for me. It’s hard to deal with the mental aspects of quitting and learning to cope without alcohol. I did the same thing… I took a walk to feel better because I was not doing so well mentally, I saw a store and was like “hey alcohol always helps!” Next day is full of regret and hopelessness… It’s not worth it. I have to keep myself busy and remove any alcohol in the house. While I’m quitting I’m staying away from people that drink a ton and trying to not even look at alcohol. It’s all about self healing and learning o cope with your feelings and the world without turning to alcohol to drown it all out.

The #1 thing you need to do in relation to alcohol is put it in context! Alcohol has no value in your life, it literally is a poison that effects you mentally and physically.
Poison defined— .a substance that is capable of causing the illness or death of a living organism when introduced or absorbed.
synonymstoxin, toxicant, venom; archaicbane"a deadly poison…
I know you know that! But mentally your getting hung up on it. If I think, crave, have a urge about alcohol, I tell myself. “It’s a poison!” I’ll tell myself that until I know longer want it. Sometimes it takes me saying it 10 times, otherdays it takes me 100 times! (It worked for me, only reason I mention it.)
Get back up and try again! Add another tool to your sobriety tool box.

Currently I’m writing a plan which should be helpful when I will be struggling with urge. This day was really hard for me but I’m trying stay positive. 
Thinking about poison worked today so I will use it often @Shattered_dreams . I’m not giving up.
Again thank you for your support, advices and good vibes. 
Stay strong, we can do this!
@GirlFromStore my advise is not to beat yourself up about it let it go. It happen and your ok and most defiantly not alone. If you go to 90 meetings in 90 days it helps you meet people and keeps you busy. Good luck don’t give up it works believe me.
