      It's good to have you back, Nursie! And so fortunate that you have the support of your husband and son. :love: That sounds like a really positive intervention.. you're working with a team! And you've got all the support of a big team here, who only want what's best for you!xx

        Hi, Nursie!

        I'm glad it didn't go further. I will take this as a cautionary tale to stay connected to my sober community here. Stick close!

          Thanks Guys. Yes, what a tricky beast! To make me even think I was ok to have “a drink” Hahahaha! I feel so stupid and sad.
          But it’s good that I didn’t go further, I didn’t hide it, I didn’t lie, and we dumped it out.
          I am sober, and I always need to be sober. There is no going back, it’s a lie and a very dangerous lie that sneaks in like a viper and will steal your entire life.

            Thank you, Nursie. Every single one of us has wanted to run this experiment. We appreciate the experience of those that go before us and let others know how to navigate. Welcome back and we’ll be right here with you. Hugs, dear lady. Byrdie

                          Re: One Year!

                          Well, ironically I am day one again on the very same day I quit 3 years ago! Now that’s meant to be!!
                          That hole I fell into lasted awhile. And again I used all the same bargaining, tricks, rules, etc to try to drink normally. As I type this I think it’s hysterical that I could know better, and yet defy all sense and reason for another go!
                          So today is day 1 again. Here I go.
                          Day 1 again 11/5/19

                            We’re glad to have you back, Nursie! You ran the experiment and proved that going back to alcohol and moderation doesn’t work, so thanks for the cautionary tale. Just start on day one, stick with us, and build your sobriety right back up again!

                              Welcome back, Nursie!:hug:
                              When I've fallen back down the hole, it's turned out just like you describe.. it's never ever how I might imagine/fantasize. Like Slo said and like you know, one day at a time, bringing out all of your old Tools and using the support system(s) you have.. the time adds up quickly. Good to have you here again..

                                You did it before and you can do it again. The good news is, you have more information now than you did 3 years ago. You have all you learned and experienced during your sober time and you know how it came to be that you decided to drink. You don't have to do that ever again. Welcome back! NS
