Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life.

How a can, bottle and glass of liquid can change your life for ever, i have been sober for 7-1/2 days, 1/2 of this day i deside to drink the liquid again thinking it will be all right, just wanting to numb out for awhile, also wanted to attend church tomorrow, somthing i haven't done in years but now i won't... i feel like a fraud once again... i frauded myself into thinking i could do it alone and with the help of the internet...i have been learning lots though, just not enough... i need to get out around f2f people and stop being the coward i am and admit i am a alcoholic,,, sure it is easy to say now. noone is looking at me, noone knows me.. All i know is that the ones who don't drink anymore at all.... i look up to you and i understand its hard work...and i understand its somethng you work at everyday of your lives.... and im going to get sober One day at time... i will keep coming back.

Stop beating yourself up so you made a mistake. Get up today and start again - what is toppingyou fromgoing to church - god does not judge you and he is the only person who really knows what you have done, if no one else was with you at the time then no one els knows unless you tell them. Go to church talk to your higher being and give yourself some forgiveness. All the time there is a tomorrow there will always be another chance. My love and thoughts are with you. Bx

its hard to stop and even harder to stay stopped. if i can do it, i know you can, stand up and dust yourself off and we'll start over, day one! One day at a time! start off slow and easy, get a week or two under your belt then try the church thing. doing too much too fast will add to your stress, keep it simple and you'll befine.

As a good man once wrote in a Letter in 1958:
"About this slip business----I would not be too discouraged. I think you are suffering a great deal from a needless guilt. For some reason or other, the Lord has laid out tougher paths for some of us, and I guess you are treading one of them. God is not asking us to be successful. He is only asking us to try to be. So I would not stay away from A.A. through any feeling of discouragement or shame. It's just the place you should be. Why don't you try just as a member? You don't have to carry the whole A.A. on your back, you know!

"It is not always the quantity of good things that you do, it is also the quality that counts.

"Above all, take it one day at a time."

I should mention that the man's name was: Bill Wilson. The quote was a letter published the the book As Bill Sees It. page 11. He does make sense if you ask me.

What a great start, sorry to hear that you have had a slip, but from these we can learn, make ourselves stronger.

I started with the internet, its a good place to start,a point where you begin to admit you had a problem, the internet was not enough either but it gave me the strength to move on and find greater support, of which there is plenty.

So hey, stop beating yourself up, get over this small slip, pull your self together and years here we come, also do try and get to church tomorrow, you may feel a little grogy, but no one will hold that against you, and it could be the f2f you looking for.

Also thereis of course you Doctor, AA and lots of other things around, I tink what you have learnt and admited that this is not an easy road, its not but it can be a great one.

SO do keep coming back

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
