I want this so bad but the cycle keeps repeating!!!! Just need some encouragement. I know God and I know I can do all things through Him that strengthens me!!!!!! He is a chain breaker and I can do this. Just really struggled this week. Hoping to start over tomorrow

You can do this. Just look at it as well that way didn't work, try a different way. Keep trying and never give up on yourself. You are worth the effort and hard work.

I have before and even now……I take gabapentin for severe neuropathy and it helps. I weaned off yesterday, which takes self-control and today is completing the weaning!!!! I also am on the naltrexone shot…….sooooo I’m trying different things I just can’t pick up anymore alcohol. Today I had ONE drink left and haven’t gotten more or haven’t downed it or anything. I do have the self-control and will power. My problem is I’ll go like a little while doing so well and “reward” that I guess or get bored or whatever and the cycle starts over
So I can break the cycle today, I know I can do this! But I gotta keep that chain broken for good! 
So I wanted to chat on here to help and also probably add a program to my life and I get the shot again this Wednesday or Thursday. Thank you all for listening
Some people can’t wean off. I get it but I’ve done it many times, I just gotta keep up sobriety once I get going for awhile sober!

What caused the most recent relapse.
Nothing gets resolved with alcohol it just gets worse.
Ummm you just might be allergic to alcohol like the rest of us are.

That’s the thing…..nothing “triggers” me
I start doing well and it’s just habitual I guess
Get bored or “reward” myself for doing well knowing darn good and well it’s only gonna start a bender and not just one night of casual drinking…..so I need to replace the habit of recurrence with a healthier habit/ritual

Sarah, to keep my sobriety I went to in person AA meetings every morning and evening, got sponsored and did the 12 steps thoroughly several times. 17 years of grateful sobriety

The naltrexone shot worked for me. I stayed on it for about a year. Beware if you drink through it you will end up in the hospital and possibly die. That was enough to keep me sober with it that and meetings of course and a sponsor. I have been trying for 26 years and have almost 4 years I hope you don't have to take the path that I did. Praying for you
