Hi guys

[Lou]

Hello to all.....I know i aint posted for a while but i have been lurking!
Tonight i feel like i need some support....I hadnt had a drink for ages and ages and i was doing really well...but i went out with work last night and i drank....i just feel so crap today...all the old feelings came back as if it was just yesterday that i stopped drinking. I really thought i had control over things but it feels like just one nights drinking has put me right back at the start...im so lonely because i isolated myself from everyone close due to my drinking and since not drinking iv been to scared to rebuild bridges incase i dissapoint again....Im really not happy with myself at the moment.
Sorry guys..i feel like iv let you all down as well as myself

Much love

Hi guys

Hi Lou! Glad to see you back! Don't beat yourself up about drinking last night. I had a couple on my birthday (which is the same day as yours). Just look at it as something you weren't missing after all. That is what I have done. I had a bit of a hangover after two BIG glasses of red wine. I don't miss it all. Just keep moving forward!!! You are doing fantastic!

I understand what you are saying about iscolation with the drinking and without the drinking. I think this stuff just takes time. You don't have to prove anything to anyone but yourself. How are the new meds? Do you feel any sense of relief emotionally? I was recently diagnosed as bi-polar and have been on Lithium now for about 6 weeks. I feel so much better. I am super happy I finally have a correct diagnoses. I have been on all those SSRI's and they seemed to have made me feel whacked out and act out/drink more.

How is your job going? The last I remember you were just heading back to work. Stay in touch Lou! We are here for you and love you lots!
