Welcome!

Of course we will be your friend and support you through this - that is what we are here for

Relapses lik you describe are very common and actually considered a part of the healing process. The key is to learn from them and keep going. What do you think you learned from this relapse? How is it going to inform you moving forward?

Welcome flipflopmom,

I do understand what you are going through and I have been there. Are you wanting to quit completely again? Good for you for making the decision to seek out this website and friends here. I have found it very helpful to use the toolbox and read through the messages from others struggling like me.

Best of luck as you start out!

Welcome Flipflopmom. Have you ever read the book Alcoholics Anonymous? This is what they would call "the queer mental twist" that precedes the first drink after a long period of abstinence. Be it just a week, months or even years.

There is a story of a business man who wanted to be successful in life, but was a heavy drinker. Somehow he scooted up the will power to stay bone dry for the next 25 years. Then he fell to the lie that after a prolonged period of sobriety one could safely drink alcohol again. He makes frequent trips to the hospital because his drinking spirals down quickly and eventually he dies.

I am not trying to scare you. But there are other great stories how they recovered and the means to recover from this hopeless condition.

Hi. I stopped drinking a year ago and lasted 9 months without a drop. It was awesome. Then, of course, I was sick of not being able to 'do what I wanted to' and went back to drinking just one drink. It's been just a couple months, and I'm out of control again. I want so badly to stop, but my husband sees no problem with my drinking. I don't drink every day, and I don't get completely wasted. As long as he doesn't see me falling down, I'm fine. I need the help of others who truly understand what I'm going through, to support me in quitting again. Will you be my friend and help me?
