well I just "outed" myself on one of the other boards so better say it here. I busted again last week. Nothing to say aboutit really just want to get honest with my fellow friends here on the board.

Hi Idgie,
One day at a time...being sober, staying sober is not always easy but relapse does not mean failure or that you can't achieve sobriety again. The hardest thing is what you already did...being honest...
Sending you {{{HUGS}}} and thoughts...Love ya Gina

Your brave and honest. Sounds like the combination for success.
Idgie...
I love ya, girl....And Gina's right, spin this and make it a learning lesson in your recovery journey....I remember time after time, when I was trying to get clean & stay clean, how I would just cave and I kept beating myself up over & over....I had to finally just get completely honest with myself and give all my reservations to God.......It's a daily reprieve based on my spiritual fitness so today, I try to keep God real close....
I am so glad you came here and got honest....You're in my prayers and forgive yourself and move forward....
((((hugs)))))

Hi Idgie,
I hope you can keep on top of all those silly and horrible thoughts and emotions that can go with the relapse. Without them it is just something that happened.
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and carry on - probably with more power and knowledge behind you than before.
Good Luck.

keep posting and talking about whats going down for you, the gap between drinks is widening so everything you are setting into place is working and you have the key of willingness which in turn will open the door of acceptance.
Your triggers and fears will become more clear and again you are learning from it all, dont be to hard on yourself, addiction wants that and it knows that it is in a battle for its active existance the bugga.
Light and love Zac

Idgie, don't be too hard on yourself, just jump back into your program ~ it took me a long time to get sober and you've got it, you get it, I couldn't at your age, I couldn't completely surrender to being an alcoholic...until very late in the game for me (decreased tolerance). My sister thought I was not ever going to come back mentally, she thought I would suffer from wet brain....ya know, you did what we do as alcoholics, you drank...learn from this and I'm certain all of what you are going through will be very, very helpful to another still suffering and struggling alcoholic....in the not too distant future.
Check in when you get a moment Idgie...
I miss seeing your words....
You are in my prayers,
xoxo
