Fell off wagon

Hello Karen,

We're not judgemental here (because most of us have had our problems), however, you know where this is going to end up. Yes, alcohol is lovely in moderation, it's just some of us can't stop when we get the taste. Unfair, but that's life.

Hi Karen, don't beat yourself up over it, just jump back on the wagon. Neil 

Well done on 6 years - what an achievement.  Wouldn't it be great if we could just enjoy the odd glass of wine like normal people do?  And a glass didn't turn into  a bottle and end up being two and every day?  I so hope you might be able to just have the odd one.  But if in doubt, leave it alone again, before you get too much of a taste for it.

Hi Karen. Try to stop since it can only get worse with another drink and another. I am sober for nearly years and know that one glass is no good. Try to stop please. If it was only one glass and no more so since then that is great. Regards Robin

Hi Karen

I can feel where you are with this as I too have been there.After years of abusing alcohol i managed to stop for nearly 15 years.I then for some crazy reason thought i would be fine to have a glass now and again and boy when i did didnt it feel good! I continued t

on tbis path and to binge on and off for 10 years or more with short periods of abstinence but I couldn' t seem to crack it and stay stopoed this time . I luckily stumbled across this site last November. I kept seeing TSM being mentioned and wondered if it was what I needed. After a bit of research and asking lots of questions I got myself the necessary meds and started TSM in December. I have never looked back. My drinking over these months has gradually reduced to next to nothing, a glass of wine about every 3 weeks now and I am never realky sure if I want that lol Everybody on here has been so supportive , nobody is here to judge, we all have our issues Take a little look at Paul Turners video on youtube One Little Pill and also C3 Europe website .If you have not heard of this process already I think you may be pleasantly surprised 😊

Nat! What an amazing reply! How much experience you have. Fell off the wagon a few times but back on track. Nobody will misjudge Karen or you but only give advice and hope. By 31st Dec I will be 5 yes sober but still cautious not to have that small glass to celebrate...diet coke or Innocent juice yes..ha ha. Keep well. Robin

Well first off, what an achievement of 6 years.  The odd glass of wine is fine, that is what I would love to do.  I am getting there slowly, but can still have my fallbacks, mostly if it is a sunny Saturday afternoon and someone calls in for a chat in the garden.  Cuppa starts us off then hubs asks if they/he/she would like a real drink.  That is it for me and I do.  Hubs asks if they want another - course they do, and course so do I - loving feeling happy and relaxed.  We get to early evening and I offer food - course they want it - so hubs will offer more of whatever they want - so I accept also (but cursing in my head coz I was doing really great for weeks).  Friends eventually go and I am relaxed, happy and sleepy.  Sleep the night away and wake so damned cross and angry with what I have done.  Sunday morning, get on my bike and go for a long ride after downing 2 pints of water.  Clear  my head and stop beating myself up.  And I begin again with my battle.  But the battle gives me a high of knowing my body is clearing out the toxic rubbish that alcohol gives you.  So what you relapsed, your body will be in great nick now, so jump back in and take the reigns.

You have done wonders - do not let 6 whole years go to waste - respect to you my friend. ...............G.
