Now’s a good time to consider that you weren’t craving a drink, you were craving an escape or a change in how you were feeling. What was going on emotionally, and in your thoughts? Apart from the drama of the moment? How did you feel and what did you think and believe in response to the feeling?

You are capable of change and you are worth the effort. And in the end, every little thing is gonna be alright :pray:.

Im glad you are back. If you ask me youre right where you need to be. Here finding accountability and support. When you arent feeling like shit go back and analyze what you can do differently next time. But for now…focus on today.

@Button83 Julia…never say you dont deserve to be here…of course you do…this is what this site is for so that we can all support each other…sometimes it takes a while for sobriety to stick i know it did for me! I think the thing to look at here is to try and stop using drink to escape things…i think as addicts we get so used to drinking things away and running from the uncomfortables in life we forget to see if its even necessary to do so…i forgot what i was even running from it was just a reaction to anything just to drink be it good or bad really…facing things sober really isnt as scary as it seems especially when youve got all of us here to support you…its more scary to be stuck in the addiction than face stuff imho. Im proud of you for coming on here to tell us you drank, secrets keep us sick but honesty is where the healing starts, this disease wants us to sneak around and feel guilt and shame but here all that shit can be left at the door because weve all been where you now, keep talking, keep coming here and we will kick its ass…together! Love and hugs :heart: :people_hugging:

I had a hard time quitting, it took a lot of trial and error, but eventually it clicked. Here’s what helped me, maybe you can find some value in it too.

Keep trying, you will figure it out.

Actually just came to mind that I haven’t ever done the whole circle around the lake after 10 years of being here.

I hope you are able to get back on the wagon. That’s what I’m gonna do. Dust myself off and do this. Day 2 today and hangover is fading. I’m gonna get some support this time when my stupid blip out mind trys to trick me into drinking again.
