First slip of 08...

[zenzx]

Couldn't even make it a whole day into 2008 before I gave into temptation and looked at P-. Heck, lately my mood has been so...down and depressed, that right now I find myself completely apathetic. I almost don't even care that I slipped or about trying. I guess I need to find a reason to start trying again. I think it's been too long since I really gave resisting a shot.

I'm not really sure why I made this thread. But if anybody else has already slipped on this first day of the new year...just know your not alone. But lets each make a goal to make it the last of the year. Good luck guys.

I also had a rough start to 2008. It helps me to remember that it is only a slip; it is what we make it. Can it toughen our resolve? Sure. It can also devestate us and drag us down. I plan to change how I deal with, and respond to, stress. I plan to be honest and find other outlets. I have to. I hope you can find other outlets as well. KNow you are not alone. I wil pray for you.

I wish you both well, recreatingkevin and zenzx! Hang in there! One slip, one day does not a year make. Keep getting back up, and know that recovery is a day-to-day endeavour that really does get easier. Especially after the holidays.

BTW, have you registered over at the new board yet? This one will be closing for all new posts soon, and will just be an archive.

Hope to see your continuing posts and input at www.npsupport.net

Success,
