I got too cocky

[Boots]

Everything was going so good, I did my 30 days and more af. I have been able to drink
responsibly, one drink at the most. Well I went off all sups. I got too cocky , thinking I
had this thing beat. Last night I had three glasses of wine and my tolerence is so low
(never was good anyhow!) and got totally ripped, ruined a family dinner, I think. I'm too embarassed to talk to anyone. I'm afraid of what my Husband is going to say when he wakes up. I just have to stop drinking completely, this is not working. I feel like I'm the worst person in the world. I just can't handle this.:upset:

Boots,

You are talking to a group of people who understand.

I am sorry you ruined a family dinner but at least you were with family.

Take care of yourself today and start back on the program. You know it works, you went 30 days and more AF.

Be good to yourself so you can get better.

Oh Boots - you're NOT the worst person in the world.....I've just posted about the hugely strong full moon today....so many folk have 'fallen over' this weekend and I felt more wobbly about it than almost ever before in 8 months!.....I am sure there is something in this moon stuff....we get wobbly and lose our balance and full senses....then drink and wham....

Pick up and dust off.....yesterday was yesterday....today is AF and tomorrow is tomorrow.

The moon will 'soften' after tomorrow too.....hang in there and don't beat yourself up. I hope your hubby can find you a hug. Maybe check out what modding levels will work for you or decide that AF is it.....I can do one but am sure two means I would lose my 'senses' and three would follow.....you've done so well....don't give up on yourself now by jumping to any conclusions!

Thinking of you...

Hi Boots, sorry you feel so bad, done this so many times myself. I'm sure your husband will
forgive you, remember this will pass, just go back to the beginning, and don't forget your
achievement 30 days is great.
Paula.

Thank you, I'm just so down on myself right now. I can handle almost anything thrown at me but I can not handle drinking. I want to drink like everyone else, but it just effects me so badly. I just need to find the strength to really quit.

Hang in there boots.

Finding myself-I really need to thank you for the Full Moon information. I woke up this morning completly crazed and did not know why. I think you are right; there is something in it. Maybe I'll turn into a werewolf.

This happens to all of us Boots. We feel comfortable and stretch the limits a little too far. It is not really a failure at all. It is just part of the education process. We all have different limits and we all have to learn what they are. Unfortunately slips and falls are the only way to learn.

Chalk this one up to education, get back on the supps and back on the wagon. You're still doing a great job!

I know what you mean about being too cocky. We think we have this thing under control and then it jumps up and bites us in the ___!

I had major drinking dreams last night - like in the dream, I was sneaking drinks and drinking all night. it freaked me out. I guess it never goes away completely eh? We can only feel thanks for the moments we have....

We've all been there and done some form of it.

I just got out of detox and I'm already nipping at the bottle.

I know it's easier said than done, but don't be too hard on yourself.
