I couldn’t even go three days… Currently tipsy on 4 shots of vodka. Feeling like a failure.
It’s okay, you checked in here. Don’t allow one small mistake to lead you down the hole and drink even more tonight. Drink some water, go someplace you feel safe, do something comforting that doesn’t involve alcohol. You’ll get through this.
Least wasn’t 3 days straight
Get back on the wagon…not the case of the “Aw f&*k it”
@Melrm thank you… I needed to hear that. I just need to get back on the fucking wagon and stop making excuses.
Hey there. I know how shitty a relapse feels specially when you have spent some time rebuilding your life already.
But just a suggestion, brush it off, sleep it off, MAKE SURE youre surrounded with extremely supportive people. And lastly, focus your energy on continuing to build the new. And not fighting the past or beating yourself up. Youll feel a lot better almost instantly and more perpetually
Uh oh… sorry to hear that. You’ve gotta want it deep within your being or that relapse bug will keep creeping up from behind like a dirty demon.
You’re not a failure and you knew one place to turn to for support @btayzor. That in itself says something.
Pour the rest! I relapsed bad the first time after half A-word trying to quit. I dumped the rest out and gave the unopened away. I relapsed a second time 3 days ago after impulse buying a bottle of wine and my hangover felt like death. Relapses can be dangerous once you lose tolerance so be careful! Drink a couple large glasses of water and sleep it off. Tomorrow is a new day! As long as you are trying you cannot fail!
dust yourself off and get back 2 it - you can do this
U r not a failure. U came here for a reason. We are here to listen and help. Ive felt that way several times. Check for meetings they are great and you are ALWAYS welcome… “Keep coming back it works”
Tomorrow is a new day. One foot in front of the other. Dig deep, start again. You are stronger than you think.
Thank you for all of your kind words and support. I ended up taking an epic nap last night, drank a couple gallons of water and felt much better.
Today I feel great and though I’m starting from scratch again, I feel good knowing I found you guys and have love and support. <3
