No shame and no blame. Eyes up and move forward. To succeed we must first (or second, third, … etc.) try and you should feel proud for trying again.

Sending you positive thoughts your way. We all struggle, this journey is not easy but so worth it. Whatever you ,do not stop trying to get sober. Do some soul searching on why you keep going back. Come up with a plan,keep yourself busy and rely on all the recources you have. Keep us posted on your recovery.

How are things going?
I have said before, I was fortunate that I joined this app near the end of my drinking, so I only had 8 or so months of active addiction in public. I had a couple of decades in private. The bargaining, the excuses, the guilt, back to excuses, the cycle was exhausting.
But you can see what you are doing now isn’t quite enough. You need to throw everything and the kitchen sink at recovery until it really sticks.

I’m also back at sobriety after a period of drinking again. Looking back it wasn’t only the alcohol, but more so the emptiness, boredom and self pity that made me drink. I understand now that I really have to keep myself engaged, fill my empty hours with stuff I (!) like and take enough rest. Practice self love. Not turn into my head or get too exhausted. It will end up in self pity and self soothing behavior. I was a dry drunk, hopefully this time it will stick. We all have our own road to recovery, but every relapse learns us something.

Glad you’re back.

Me too! I use zoom meetings too! I really like the Zoo crew zoom meeting. And check up from the neck up. :heart_hands:

Amen to that. I’ve been sticking with my daily meetings and step work. I have to keep it in the for front of my brain :heart_hands:

Sometimes, that being stuck in the head thing can really get to me. My last lapse, I noticed that nothing was going wrong.I actually felt pretty dang, good and in those moments, I have to be in complete control as well.Otherwise, the alcoholic brain will trick me into drinking. But I know I have to play it forward, play it forward, play It forward.

Heck yeah - way to play it forward and know that this is the key when that thinking gets going. So very proud of you :hugs:

So cunning, baffling, powerful is addiction.
