Didn't make it

I feel like such a failure.  I had 9 days of sobriety and slipped this weekend, all weekend.  My boyfriend said he can't take it anymore and neither can I.  I don't deserve this crap.  I haven't been to a meeting since last Monday.  I think I need to go to the lunchtime meeting today, a woman's group.  Thanks for letting me confess and vent.  Pray for me please.

Please stop beating up on yourself. Start over, go to a meeing today. Try 90 meetings in 90 days.

I was a daily drinker so I went to 2 or 3 meetings a day.  BTW, I also work 40 to 50 hours a week. I went to a meeting in the morning, than another one at 5:30 and then another on one at 8.  I had to keep this schedule up in order to get time.  I'm not saying you should do 2 or 3 meetings a day. I'm just sugguesting 1 meeting a day.  Do you have a sponsor? If not...start shopping for one. Develop an AA network of friends. Don't just collect phone numbers....use them.  There is help out there for you. Hang in there...it will get better. DarDar

Thanks for the support.  I'm going to a noon meeting today during my lunch hour.  I will get some phone numbers today.

Failures quit trying to succeed.

Your plan for a meeting is a good one. Another meeting tonight is a great plan!

You are not alone in this journey. Reach out for help and it will be there.

You are in my prayers,

Karen

Keep trying. You are only a failure if you give up on yourself. Early sobriety is rocky for many of us. Mine was. Just keep getting up and trying. Hugs, Trish

I am amazed at how difficult it is to put together that first string of days. Its taken me many attempts and God willing I will finally hit double digits tomorrow. Good Luck!

I will pray for double digits for YOU

So glad you posted..

A slip is much better than a relapse.. and it's awesome that YOU want this.  Now to just make it happen for you.. one day at a time.  Glad you are going to a meeting.. Hang in there we are all here to support YOU

Denise,

You are NOT a failure! You've picked yourself up and formed a plan!! Please try to get to a meeting. Give yourself a gift and find a sponsor if you can! I'ts not easy, but nothing truly worth having ever is! I'm behind you!!! We all are here for you!!!!  Big Hugs, Marie

I read a quote somewhere the other day by Michael Jordan.  It was something along the lines of "I've missed 10,200 shots, lost 5600 games and fallen on my butt 500 times.  That's how I got to be the success I am today". Each day you are alive is a new chance, a new opportunity, a new shot at being sober.  Don't quit fighting.  Don't quit trying.  *DO* quit beating yourself up. Let us know how you're doing! love and light, Michelle
