I’ve failed at staying dry..,but hear me out first…. I’ve been dry for 16 day (woo hoo) and my aim was to regain control…which I did,…now today I’ve felt guilty all day and beating myself up for drinking because of my blog but, here’s the but….it’s ok to have a slip,or It’s okay to set the clock back to day one with a new force ahead.
I think you’re doing really well and shouldn’t beat yourself up. Every time you have a blip you dust yourself down and get back on the horse and that’s amazing. Xx

You havent let anyone down, it’s a marathon not a sprint. We can prop each other up throughout the whole journey. I’m so tempted tonight I’m already in bed. On a flipping Saturday 😂

Bed is the best!!! That’s the thing you probably tempted because I’ve given up and been weakling…. no I’ve gone to the dark side because I have alcohol to use up 😩😩😩

You haven’t let anyone down. You just have more experience now.
Throw the booze away and restart.

Pour it down the sink or use it as loo cleaner? (Havent a clue if it works as loo cleaner). This is the hardest part remember, before the rainbow there’s a sprinkle of rain xx

I would recommend the Jason Vale Kick The Drink Easily book. Right away he shatters the notion that us alcohol users are “in control”. It is an idea I am slowly coming to terms with. You are not in control if you’re constantly making deals about / trying to avoid something. He keeps talking about being free which is so appealing to me… don’t ask me how yet I am only three chapters in….and only two days into sobriety Hahahaha. But yes, just keep trying, over and over, as many time as it takes.

It’s ok to wipe the slate clean.
Then ask yourself, what additional support do you need to make this change work? Are you going to AA? Might you?
Knowledge and awareness.
