Hey everyone...i havent been on here for a while.  I had 8 months sober...but on march 28 i had a relapse, and haven't been able to kick it yet.  Im still going to meetings tho.  I started chairing the friday night meetings, so thats new and good.  I actually logged on here march 28th...i was trying to divert my thinking...and I journaled and read my big book, but my mind was set on drinking.  What is weird is that last year after i had 6 months sober, i relapsed in march...i dont know why that happened two years in a row in the same month.  I was completly conscious of that too.  I was determined to not drink this march, but i had been dealing with some crazy s**t here at school...and i couldnt handle it so i drank. my new sober date is April 26, 2009...and Iplan on keeping it that.  I just feel kinda beat...but still hopeful.

later!

Iam so glad you are going to meetings ! do yo have a sponsor ? even a temporary sponsor is better than none....

The first few times I came around I tried to undo my sobriety at 30 then 60, then 90 days-

this is a thinking disease,one of insanity, that wants you and me- dead...

vigilence and keeping it in 'today', with focus on a meeting - (it may need to move up from evening- to morning or noon time) picking up the phone

and all the other suggestions people have mentioned- including asking a Higher Power for help--- Keep coming!      Nia

Perhaps you may want to try it the way the first one hundred did it and many of the now old timers! 1”Don’t drink even if your ass falls off, 2” ask for help,3” go to as many meetings as you can possible attend.4”sit up front,5”get a sponsor and use him,6” learn the steps and work them in your life,7”keep it in the day and help others, I  am here if I can be of any assistance

Katie -


    Try this - each morning when you get up, look at the calendar and make a note: "Just for today I won't drink. May have yesterday, don't know about tomorrow, but today I won't take a drink." Don't make a promise you can't guarantee you will keep. Instead keep it as simple as need be. In the moment. You'll make it. Have faith in today...


YF,


Dennis
