Hello JK,
I know how you are feeling right now, I REALLY do. Take it easy and make sure you don't get hungry, lonely or tired. I am sure you know already but eat chocolate as that should help if you have the shakes.
I am glad you're going to AA tonight and seeing you're sponsor - get back on track again
I am sending you a pm so hope that's okay?

mADDIE- I was trying to remember how that went.
HALT- hungry,angry,lonely,tired - is that right?
<<<<<<<AWAKE>>>>>>>>
OOPs I missed that one out ( angry). I always get that one wrong !!!!
Maddie
Hey, JK, it is very brave to admit when you make a mistake. You're already on the right track.
Please take care of yourself first, share your experience, strength and hope. Good things will come to you.
I am glad to know that you have plenty of support around you.

now...don't feel bad. publicly admitting your falling off the wagon takes tremendous strenght. this same strenght will get you back on that wagon. (((take care)))
Oh, and like AK-Jeff, I hope you didn't let that old troll get to you. He/She was just jealous because you were getting a lot of attention. Hang tough.

sorry for the rough weekend. I'm glad you are facing the problem - every day you don't drink is a successful day. I'm not an alcoholic, but a child of an alcoholic, so I understand the scene. Tell me more about HALT - I haven't heard the term before.
Hortensia - HALT is just a shortened way of saying hungry, angry, lonely, and tired
In AA one of the ways of avoiding a relapse is to make sure that you aren't feeliing any of these things. It's just a helpful suggestion really. There are quite a few different ones that AA's use as reminders to look after themselves.

It takes courage to admit to people on a discussion board that you messed up and have taken steps to get back on track. Bravo! Being from two parents that were alcoholics, I too am aware of the implications and downfalls.
I wish you the very best from the heart.
hugs,
Annie
Strength & Honour To You, JK. Your among a wonderful company of friends.
Godspeed
