We’ll I am no expert or saint. I go 3 months then fall back or a year then fall back. I have found it’s best to get healthy feeling and focus on future and how I can avoid those things in life that cause me to fall back and work through them as they come up. They always come back and I try and think of new ways to positively react to them when they do. Not sure that makes sense but have a nice day and be positive

I was that way just this Sunday. We both need to try really hard to stay the course.
My daughter said she would disown me if I drank again.
I’ve started a journal. Gratitude for sobriety.
I just started it Sunday but I can tell it will help.
You got this!! Heck we got this.
I wish I had a friend to call before I picked up.
I’ll meet one soon I hope.
Big big hug to YOU!!!

Thank you so much! We definitely got this! One day at a time. If you ever need someone to talk to my inbox is always open. A journal is such a great idea! I am going to start one today. Big hugs back :slight_smile:

It makes perfect sense. Thinking positively is what I struggle most with (thanks to depression and anxiety) but I am going to work on it :slight_smile: thank you!

It’s not a matter of trying NOT to drink, but the ability stay SOBER! The benefits are so huge. Just work on day 2, then 3. It’ll come to you.

Well I think it’s all about perspective. I haven’t found another group of people where after I fall flat on my face I can come to them the next day and be honest. Be grateful that you have found this “family”. Also, you made it back, take a moment and reflect on that. I’m glad you made it back. I’ve been there too, proud of you for being honest!:black_heart:

Thanks for coming back to the app for support. While it's fresh in your mind write down everything that you hate about being hungover....from the way it feels to the time lost to being sickly.....any negative association you can think of. Keep the list on you and read it when you have temptations

Ok, so you drank… STOP. Don’t allow it to become another disaster. Get to a meeting, get a sponsor and start over… beating yourself up is not gonna change anything. You have the power to stop. Start over one day at a time.! I am sending some prayers ip for you. Hit me up for support anytime.

I am trying to find the reason/ trigger/ feeling that I was thinking when I lapsed… and then try to think of a strategy that can keep me from turning to the drink. At least make it a learning experience.

Hey, remember, we don't do these things because they are easy, but because they are hard. Dust off your chin, ball up your fists. You are going to beat this.

You can do it! It’s okay if you slipped up as long as you pick yourself back up and keep going.
