Your stronger than you think you are ... you will get through this ... try to stay positive ... and surpass this emotion .. think of it as “bad” weather ... this shall pass ... tomorrow is a new day .... it will be ok 

One bad day in a year and a half... You know you can do it! It's a new day!  

Hi there. I don’t post. Sharon, ten days ago I ended up in the hospital from drinking too much. I absolutely understand the pitfalls of allowing ourselves to indulge, be free...endeavoring to find love. Us women’s have hearts that won’t quit, and we beat ourselves up especially hard when we trust when we shouldn’t, overdo it when we shouldn’t, make decisions we shouldn’t, etc. I am a private person with social anxiety, but I have an enormous heart. If ever you need to know that others are out there that share in and experience your pain, I’m one. I read a lot on here, but this is the first time it has struck a cord. I also have read every single comment here. You have an amazing support system and are loved. Take care of yourself and know, you are absolutely not alone. 

Falling off the wagon is going to happen and it's ok. You're being too hard on yourself. I think it's good that you're hard on yourself though and hold yourself accountable. Just don't be so hard that you feel like you need to be punished. I had a rough Saturday night and still feel off even though now it's Tuesday...The good thing is that I know I won't drink for at least a little while :) 

From my experience - drinking hasn't solved any of my problems. It just postpones the solution. I have a dry erase marker and I write on my bathroom mirror every morning - My Alive day, and my going to be and my waking time. this reminds me every day that I only have today and the time in between waking and sleeping. It reminds me to celebrate the day and take advantage of the time I have. there is no time to waste on things that don't help me grow. Do I make mistakes - sure - a lot of them. I try to apply what I have learned and move forward. I have been blessed with some amazing opportunities and I am very grateful for them. From what I read in your posts - you have accomplished a lot to be proud of and you have some awesome goals. Keep reaching and growing - God has a plan for you.  

Not drinking is a daily/minute to minute struggle. Please do not beat yourself up for just being a human. Take a deep breath and start sobriety again. You can do this! We are all here for you along your journey to better health. 

You can hold yourself accountable but don't beat yourself up so bad that you fall back again. In the morning when you wake you have a clean slate for that day...every day is a new day! As long as there is still air in your lungs you have the potential to go in any new direction you choose!!! Hang in there, I've been there... 

Yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future. Forget what is behind you and focus on what is in front of you. You can’t change the past but you can change the future! Put your focus there, I hope you are feeling better!!! Leave whatever it was behind!!!! 

Read your post and immediately started praying!  

Agreed with many others here. You have come so far.....never give up! Keep your chin up and press forward.  

Young lady, Each of us here on fatsecret are flawed. Each of us wants change and feels less than 100% about ourselves. I can assure that your feelings lately are mirrored by all of us at one time or another. We all understand, we are are so alike. To us, we aren't good enough! The good part is...what is good enough? How do you know when you truly belong or are worthy? I have watched your progress for a while now and you are doing exceptionally well. You fell down. No worries, get up! You stumbled...ok, now you get back on your path. You feel terrible, I totally understand. Life is hard, uncompromising and unfair. Get up! You can do it! You are a survivor...look how far you have come? Get up and keep fighting! I am one of at least 40 people who got your back! We all fall down, we all feel inadequate at times. We all fail. It may take many of us a lifetime to achieve our goals, many won't see ultimate success but they will surely be better off than they would have been otherwise. Believe in you! Before anyone can buy into you...you must buy into you. Hugs sweetheart. 

you are so honest about your feelings. I hope you are feeling better today.  

I’m reading everyone’s comments and I can feel the love and support . You have reached all of us because we have or are struggle daily too.. stay strong 💪
