And I’m a recovering alcoholic. 5 months sober. All gone now like I’d never bothered. So here I am, back to square one

This is really wonderful to read, well done and congrats on your baby! I hope this gives hope to others who are struggling with alcohol addiction, really inspiring!

Well done OP

PerfectlyUnsuitable · 19/11/2021 18:30

Now that’s the sort if zombie thread I love.

👏👏👏👏🎉🎉

Seriously, well done!!!

Progress, not perfection. One drink doesn't detract from the months of sobriety. Just try not to let it turn into "I've had one, so....."

Gingernaut · 19/11/2021 18:34

Congratulations @Hiphopopotamus. You have a lot to be proud of.

One day at a time. One hour at a time. One minute at a time.

You have done it. You are doing it. You will do it.

ScrollingLeaves · 19/11/2021 18:35

Yes. Put it down the sink. You are ok. Well done for coming on here. Do you have an AA friend to ring? You have not ruined everything.

Wow, you are incredible and you have so much that you can teach your beautiful little girl about staying strong and never giving up. She is so lucky to have you as her mum ❤ congratulations 👏

ScrollingLeaves · 19/11/2021 18:39

So sorry / I had not read the full thread. I am so glad you are all right now. Well done💐💐💐

PerfectlyUnsuitable · 19/11/2021 18:40

I think some posters need to learn to RTF or at the very least the OP’s posts.

You’d have learnt that

  • it’s a zombie thread resurrected by the OP
  • the OP has now been 3 years sober!!

I don’t think she needs advice on putting the wine down the sink 🤣🤣

fleurbelle · 19/11/2021 18:41

I'm in awe of you!!!
Wow
You rock.
Best wishes x

ThirdElephant · 19/11/2021 18:43

HI OP if you are ever feeling shaky log on to AA online 247. I know they would love for you to say Hi.

Well done!!

What a wonderful positive post to read at the end of a long week. That’s fantastic OP - well done!

Glugglejug · 19/11/2021 18:58

One day at a time OP. You are not the first and won’t be the last to fuck up.
Pour the rest of the wine away and give the sobriety another crack tomorrow; remember you’ve got five months more experience. Flowers
