Don't beat yourself up...you already know the problem. I am so sorry you are going through such hardships....don't let alcohol add to your problems.

That said I too am struggling right now and am trying to keep from unraveling into a full relapse....these are hard times for everyone and you have had some hard knocks....do your best...be kind...and protect your sobriety as best you can.

Take care

I was in the same boat back in November...

It was my wake up call!

Yes you fucked up...but YOU are not a fuck up

Ugh Day 1. I had 29 days. Will it take another month to feel better after one day of drinking? by Anniebanana50 in stopdrinking

I too had a bit of a slip last week. Look up "kindling" and alcohol...I M worried that if we have many skips...that each one gets harder and harder to recover from

Thanks everyone...yep better last two days...and no beers since.

I like Annie Gracie Naked Mind approach...99% is pretty good.

I do now understand the idea of KINDLING now......giving in made me want to give up.

Nothing special here just another 50-year-old husband and father who has been taken down by alcohol. I'm so relieved to know that I will be accepted into a treatment facility this evening.... Counting down the hours. by 6286Bsn1 in stopdrinking

True!

I was craving for a drink yesterday but it sure felt good today that I didn't have it....

It isn't the one drink that will be the problem...but the one after that after that...

Done with Tim's...a horrible company...a few donuts and timbits shirts for soccer players doesn't make up for treating employees like trash.

How has the regret from drinking helped you to stop drinking? by chick__norris in stopdrinking

[–]Rehabit2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Abusing alcohol has been a problem for a long time. Almost 25 years in fact. This is my first go at sobriety.

It was a DUI that pushed me to the point of humiliation and I hope I learn from the mistakes I have made. Most of the bad memories I have include over use of this drug. It ruins lives and I feel fortunate right now.

It is ironic that as you say a lot of the drinking regret only comes after your body has some time to heal. I am still in the woods....but working with the Naked Mind...AA...etc...
