Well, I messed up. I fell off the wagon again. So I’m on 4 days sober. 1-11-22. I just ordered some AA books, some trauma based and the other the traditional AA. I’m not a failure, I can do this. But it’s up to me to dig deep. Thank you for being here.

It’s ok. The point is you keep trying! I’ve been there many times. The past is done you can’t change it! Today is all we all have. Glad you made it back.

So you messed up but you are no way a failure. Just ask your daughter. I go to AA but big on education. If you want to read I recommend Alcohol Explained by William Porter. If you search the site you will find a ton of reading. I think when you learn how alcohol affects your brain it will make it easier to stay sober.
Yes we all have been in your shoes so pick yourself up and start over. Reach out anytime you are not alone.

I appreciate you!!
You didn’t mess up, Kathy. You are just human. They key is recognizing that the old way didn’t work, even when you relapse, and getting right back to the work of the program. Anyone who is able to take that step quickly after a slip is already on the right path. Forgiveness of yourself is imo the number 1 crux of us alcoholics. We love to beat ourselves up when we need to learn to love us through all of our missteps. God bless you and I am proud of you for getting back to the work. You go girl!!!
