You are all so kind. I have to restart my tracker back to zero. I know I get stronger with each try but itā€™s really disappointing to start over again :sweat:

Thatā€™s okay, addiction is so strong and it never plays fair! Whenever I had a set back or mine were usually full blown relapses, I always took the time to acknowledge what happened, how it happened, what was my thought process, and sometimes I would even write it down so I could use the learning experience for next time I felt weak. Youā€™re still doing great though, you came back here and are still choosing to start again, youā€™ve got this!

Thanks Amanda, youā€™re right I should take some time and write down what was going on in my head. I also do need to share with my husband and not keep it in the dark. I hate being vulnerable though but I know that is where growth is.

No problem, I really think it will help! And I agree with you too, you definitely donā€™t have to tell everyone but at least tell your husband and shed some light on it so itā€™s not completely in the dark. And itā€™ll be good for your relationship too to just stay honest and heā€™ll know where youā€™re coming from and itā€™ll hopefully bring you guys closer. Itā€™s hard!! Thereā€™s definitely no switch to just turn off the cravings and addiction but wouldnā€™t that be nice!! lol.

Yes! So proud of you. Keep on fighting for your sobriety and happiness. Youā€™re worth it! Iā€™m 32 days sober and whoā€™s to say I wonā€™t trip up. Weā€™re all imperfect beings. Just remember you deserve to be sober, living a happy healthy life!

Do you miss it

#36

Do I miss it? To be honest, sure but Iā€™m so much better without it. Yesterday was a challenge. 1st Saturday of college football. Always been a big drinking day. I didnā€™t even think about it until my husband reminded the game was about to come on(he still drinks). Kinda like Oh Shoot! This is going to be hard but I enjoyed the game and didnā€™t drink. Thereā€™s always going to be events that will trigger the desire to drink but I know Iā€™m a better person without it so I donā€™t!

Why did you stop

#38

Think about why you stopped and ask yourself,do I miss that? If yes then make a decision to quit for the rest of your life. Close the doorā€¦.If you cannot bring yourself to do this the you will sooner or later fall.
A winner never quits a quitter never winsā€¦ If you continue to tell yourself I quit then your subconscious mind will play on that decision as being weak because it knows you are not a quitterā€¦ļæ¼
