Read em and weep. I fell off the wagon, and I need to start quitting again. Eight months down the drain?

Eight months is a great accomplishment! Everyone slips
You can press the reset button and begin again

I think I will, thanks for the support. Today is a new day and who knows what tomorrow will bring. This is not the end.

((((((((lightbulb))))))) i don't know you but i read your posts ... you are stronger than you think and i KNOW you can climb back on the wagon as easy as you fell off it ... be patient with yourself and give yourself the same love and support you give others, hon

I'm sorry you broke your sobriety, but yes 8 months is something to be proud of! Focus your energy on the positive and remember to take care of yourself.

Peace & Hugs,

Eight months is a long time, and I KNOW you can do it again, and even LONGER. You know that too.

Have you gone to AA? I'm sorry, but I can't remember. My memory is in really bad shape. That's from brain damage from drinking. I spent 20 years of my life drunk and basically insane from doing the same thing over and over. You don't want to end up like me. Plus it affects your bones and other organs in your body. For my age, I'm in pretty poor shape. Don't follow my lead, except that I got sober and stayed that way!

I hope you're in AA - if you are, make friends with someone your age, and hang out with them. Do things with them socially. Go to as many meetings as you can. AA works if you work it.

Take care my friend -- I'm with you 200%. If you need to talk, let me know. You know where I am. Hugs, Lee

light bulb, all the things you learned in those 8 months are still with you. you drank but that good info hasn't gone away. thank you for letting us know rather than keeping it to yourself. we are all with you and support you always. just get back on that horse and try again.

Thanks everybody. Leed, yes I have gone to A.A. but I keep the "book" of A.A. at my house and I read it. This is survivable, which that knowledge is priceless in time of crisis. I sincerely appreciate the support from yall. Yours truly, Lightbulb7

The most important thing is to keep on trying ... ...

And remember, above all ... Just because we make a mistake doesn't mean that we are a mistake ... !!!

Try not to be too hard on yourself. I know how very hard it can be. It took me years of getting clean and relapsing to finally stay clean. You made a mistake but it doesn't define you. Just acknowledge and move on please don't dwell. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
