Thank you all!!!
I guess I'm not 'Super Woman', after all!
I have my list of phone numbers---I might get brave & actually use it. It's just hard, when I feel like such a loser.
But I really want this to happen!!!

You have to pick up the phone and talk to someone with sobriety BEFORE you pick up a drink. Don't be ashamed, just get to an AA meeting TODAY. You aren't the only one who has ever relapsed. It happens. Call your sponsor--if you don't have one---get one tonight. Just share about it, a sponsor will come to you.
Good luck.

Go to AA, get a sponsor who has taken the steps and do everything she says, go to as many meetings as is physically possible.
There is hope. It's a disease, not a moral failure. If I can stay sober for the last 20 years, so can you.
I am sending you my e mail address. Contact me and we will get help to you.

Hang in there... It happens and it's no reason to give up, one day at a time. Just start over and be strong....it never get easier, it becomes part of who you are.
It really does help to have a hobby that doesn't involve drinking or being around people who drink.

You shouldn't feel ashamed...you should use the relapse as a learning experience and keep on. Most alcoholics who quit and are successful have had relapses

Seriously you need to find a hobby and do not hang out with anyone who drinks.
