I lasted 5 days

[dmtodd]

Hi all,

I'm completely dejected. I confessed all to my doctor who gave me a very low dose of Ativan to take the edge off. Naturally, I had to take 2 to make a difference. I did good for 5 days....and here I thought I was done. It's Tuesday the day after Memorial Day and I'm completely backslidden. I'm on my 3rd or 4th Rum & Coke. I'm not giving up, I'm procrastinating I think. Jeez! When can I put this behind me?

peace and god bles

DM - focus on what you achieved and not what you didn't! I haven't yet got to 5 days!!! So, you've had 3 or 4 R&Cs - leave it at that and dont have a 5th or 6th

I completely understand. I had one beer on Sunday which opened a can of worms. When I got home, I drank rum and coke. Hating myself. I am back thinking in the present.

Don't sweat it. The people here know what they are talking about. They give good advice. Just keep positive thoughts.

Hang in there

Many of us have had a false start or two. Sometimes it just happens. But, when you get serious about this, I highly encourage you to read the book, make a plan and take the supplements. This is like training for The Olympics, it doesn't, just happen because we want it to happen, it takes work and planning. But, it is all worth it! Soooo worth it!

Best of Luck and Keep Going!
