Nothing wrong with starting over - I've had to do it more than a few times myself. Alcohol is tough to give up. But Lenny's right we only have to do it for one day at a time. What can you learn from what led you to drink? and can you think about what you might do differently next time you're in the same situation of have an urge. They kept telling us in treatment to look at a relapse not as a failure but as a learning experience. Hang in there. Spltiimage

Chalm,
You can do it. You're a strong woman. You can be stronger than the alcohol. It's a tough addiction to beat especially if you're trying to do it on your own. I've had many failures and had to start over many times, before I got any decent sobriety in me. So learn from the experience and start over. --spltiimage

I know it's hard. But just keep taking it one hour, or less, at a time. Feel proud of yourself for starting over, you've taken the harder but better option. I'm cheering for you all the way up in snowy Canada. --splitimage

chalm,
you might find this song inspiring! <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7fNYEQYNjtg&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7fNYEQYNjtg&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> The whole worlds broke and it aint worth fixing Its time to start all over, make a new beginning Theres too much pain, too much suffering Lets resolve to start all over make a new beginning Now dont get me wrong - I love life and living But when you wake up and look around at everything thats going down - All wrong You see we need to change it now, this world with too few happy endings We can resolve to start all over make a new beginning Start all over Start all over Start all over Start all over The world is broken into fragments and pieces That once were joined together in a unified whole But now too many stand alone - theres too much separation We can resolve to come together in the new beginning Start all over Start all over Start all over Start all over We can break the cycle - we can break the chain We can start all over - in the new beginning We can learn, we can teach We can share the myths the dream the prayer The notion that we can do better Change our lives and paths Create a new world and Start all over Start all over Start all over Start all over The whole worlds broke and it aint worth fixing Its time to start all over, make a new beginning Theres too much fighting, too little understanding Its time to stop and start all over Make a new beginning Start all over Start all over Start all over Start all over We need to make new symbols Make new signs Make a new language With these well define the world And start all over Start all over Start all over Start all over ... |
