I have failed, I keep trying not each day slip back, I do realise something is going to give sooner or later but not sure how to get out of the spiralling circle!
I can relate to so much Rubyred427 listed previously, I guess I need to try again and be more positive!
It's only a failure, if you give up trying ! And your here posting, so you've not given up !
Maybe try reading some inspiring books or watching some videos on YouTube by Annie Grace or Rebecca Weller. I find all those folk so inspiring. Good luck 👍

@donimfp we have missed you here for sure. Don't be hard on yourself...we are all our own worst critic. You will get back on track when you are ready. Are you still trying out for Jeopardy? If you get on you have to tell us when to watch!
@mtngrl3 OMG I would lose my *kitten* if my husband told my kids to call his gf Mom. Can no one mediate in this situation for you? A mutual friend maybe? That is completely unacceptable. You are doing your best.
@annliz23 Never ever give up trying. It will stick one day.
I appreciate all of you here at the Sober Squad. You ALL make valuable contributions to this thread ~ Jen
@RubyRed427 I also heard about California Sober. it is laughable. Demi reasons that people on diets don't completely quit eating. WELL NO KIDDING YOU NEED FOOD TO LIVE! You do not need weed and alcohol. Whatever. I do not believe this is going to work for her. She'll probably figure this out before too long

I do agree with you Jen! Elton John said "hell no, it's not possible." Once the brain is a pickle, we can't go back to being a cucumber.

That's I will give it a try!
I agree with everyone on here! Keep trying! We do not fail, we stumble. We're human. Once you build some momentum, you'll get back on track.
Don't give up on yourself; you are worth the effort.
Even people in AA with years of sobriety, sometimes drink. Then, they get right back to the serious business of being sober.
I told RubyRed I fell off the wagon last night as I was in the exact same position as her (restaurant, old friends). I drank wine. There were no negative consequences THIS TIME and I realize that was pure luck and I am under no illusions that won't be the case if I do this again. I've read and heard too many horror stories to think I am going to be the exception when it comes to moderation. Back in the saddle today.
Yesterday at dinner, my friend had two cocktails. She said "do you want to drive my car home". I said sure. She then said "well, I can drive. never mind".
So, she was driving and I had to yell "RED Light"!!!
She didn't see the light was totally red, and kept cruising down the street at 40 mph.
I can't say if that was because of the alcohol or just the darkness (our middle aged eyes are not that good at night). But it made me think a little bit.

Oh well... there are worse things in life than not drinking.
