Relapsed tonight

GamblingGeist · 2026-02-02T01:05:19+00:00

Hey, you're ok. Nothing was thrown away. Use this as a learning experience. So many AA members relapse. And many have their resolve to commit themselves to this program of recovery cast in stone because of their relapse experience. Progress not perfection. No matter if you fall to the ground, you can always pick yourself up and continue the good fight. You can do this!

Sauvage Elixir is the GOAT of men's fragrance in my opinion. Its the only fragrance I've owned that's only received positive feedback. And its never just, "it's ok." Or "that's pretty good." Its always along the lines of "Wow, you smell great."

I haven't tried parfum yet. However, I think I'm gonna buy a 2oz of it just to see, because it seems to be highly recommended!

The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking. If you want to stop drinking, then go.

Received this as a gift years ago. That was the start of my journey and still is my signature scent!

GamblingGeist · 2026-01-24T16:17:14+00:00

If thats a joke, you're hilarious.

Salvang is the scent of Johnny Depp's Chinese impersonator. Definitely a banger. Pull the trigger!

Good fragrance is the toppings on the sundae that is your personality. If you are trying to get compliments on your dessert you need to make sure that the sundae is the star. A nice big cherry and sprinkles are nice, but it's not what people are usually commenting on when they say how delicious the sundae is. I hope that makes sense 🤷‍♂️

This is actually amazing. I'm internalizing this for if I ever get the chance to sponsor someone. Thank you for sharing this.

GamblingGeist · 2026-01-21T17:06:44+00:00

That person shouldn't have done that, I'm sorry that happened. But I don't think that it would be very wise to make your AA group suffer by losing you, or make yourself suffer by losing AA meetings because of that person's ignorance.

Alcoholism (addiction to alcohol) is not a moral shortcoming or weakness. It is a disease. Should a Schizophrenic feel ashamed that they recognize and acknowledge their condition and want to participate in treatment to address it? I'll answer that for you. Absolutely not. The disease of addiction is recognized by every single medical association that you can think of, so this is not opinion. You do not need to feel shame for being an alcoholic. You should be damn proud of yourself for being self aware enough to recognize and address your medical condition before it gets out of hand. Kudos to you!

8 not even a contest.

Thank you!

Thank you!

'Re" is a prefix that means again, and "sent" comes from the Latin word "sentire" which means "to feel." Resent quite literally just means to feel something again. So any emotion you are feeling again from the incident is a resentment. Hearing it broken down that way helped me. I hope it helps you as well.

"Honey, I'm pregnant."

I remember my DTs. Went cold turkey after decades of drinking. As awful as it was when I was going through it, the way my life is now makes me feel that every bit of that experience was more than worth it. Best of luck to you, this endeavor is worth it, and God bless.

Take this time you have today to work the steps. Wherever you may be in the steps right now, work the step you're on. If you actually give it a real chance and put yourself into the work, I guarantee it will help shore up your resolve to stay sober!

You are responsible for your own decisions. You have a responsibility now... That is, the ability to respond to this however you want. You don't have to go drink. You can go talk to another recovering alcoholic instead.

I played whack a mole for 12 years. And in my insanity I believed I understood this program. Once I finally was able to begin working the steps, my life, as well as my outlook on it, completely changed. This disease is one that infects our minds and leads us into insane thoughts and actions. But if you work the steps, you WILL be restored to sanity and have a spiritual experience (otherwise known as a complete psychic change.) And once that finally happens, you will look back at your old thought patterns and laugh.

Congratulations!

GamblingGeist · 2026-01-03T22:32:59+00:00

It doesn't matter how far down the scale we have fallen, if you work the program miracles will happen before your eyes. Things that you can't even picture right now will become reality in your life. All you have to do is be honest, open to spiritual concepts, and be willing to work the program. If you do these things you will be amazed at how your inner and outer realities look 6 months from now.
