just that really. I went out after work last night , had too many drinks - hungover and depressed today. my ex took my son to school - feeling like the worst parent ever. Feel so sad.
Try again. Do not despair. Forget the past...if possible. I was totally and utterly down and neglected my family but stopped 6 1/2 years ago....try and try. Regards Robin
Hi Lucy, You need to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start again. It's virtually impossible to not have set backs when trying to stop drinking because it's not easy. Focus on all those weeks that you DIDN'T drink. That is such a positive. This is a blip - please don't beat yourself up about it. Yes it will make you feel mad at yourself and yes you are suffering with the consequences BUT start on your not-drinking path again and each time you will get further along that path. I do feel for you but it's not the end - just a set back. Today is another day - you've proved to yourself that by drinking last night it makes you feel the way you do today. Recover today, drink lots of water and start again!! Wishing you lots of strength and encouragement and remember you have done so well in firstly acknowledging that you have a problem and then to stay abstinent for so long. Next time it will be longer. I have faith in you!! All the best Claire xx
Thank you both. Just want today to end, physically sick and teary. But its done now - just so gutted.
Don't do it again.
Lucy, you might look up The Sinclair Method. It's offered on NHS to help people reduce their drinking to sane levels or you can see a private doctor about it.
The C3 Foundation great with The Sinclair Method. Great website and Joanna who is in charge has helped 100s of people😃
How was your week?
It has been good Robin , thanks. I was still feeling very anxious up until Tuesday, but it did pass. I threw myself into work abit - and have had a relaxing weekend. So my mind is at peace! I hope you all is good with you?
Had a great week. A day off Thursday and watched latest quentin tarrantino folm booring..walked out one hour before it ended: once upon a time in hollywood..yesterday my twin girls played a football match and one of them scored 4 goals..just turned nine..great. Keep it up..work sometimes helps..keeps you busy..all the best from Robin
