I figured I’d wait a bit before I added anything to what’s already been said, and you’ve had a few days to sort through what happened and where you go from here. And I knew that it would take a few days for you to try to get over what you did, answer the many pm’s I’m sure you’ve been getting, and try to figure out how to start posting again. And keep in mind the pm you sent me after your previous slip as you read this because I’m honestly worried about you as your slips are getting closer together.
You blew it, no simpler way to put it. That doesn’t make you a failure, it only means you weren’t successful at that attempt. As long as you’re breathing, you get another chance to do it right. You let everything in your mind get to you, and then you let your old coping mechanism take over. Time to put a stop to that way of thinking. I know you have many friends here, me included, who have given you their social media info, email addresses, phone numbers, etc, but you seem to ignore all that when the going gets tough. It’s time to change that as well, start using the support that has been offered, we can’t help you if you don’t reach out to us when you need us. And yes, we’ve all done the same, chose drinking over reaching out, but that doesn’t make it right.
I don’t know how to help you fix your plan to stay on track, but I’d like to offer a couple of suggestions, get on the roll call, everyday. I know you’ve said that counting days doesn’t help you, but maybe this time it will. Find a quit buddy here and use them, help each other get through the tough times, share your strengths, weaknesses, fears, thoughts, communicate your feelings to each other.
And get back to posting, you don’t have to say sorry to anyone but yourself, we all know what you’re going through because we’ve been there……

I don't want to be this person it feels dirty.
