(Disclaimer: feel free to read on but I'm just rambling so no need for response even though it would be appreciated)

taking the plunge and starting a thread because today was my first fall since joining GYE (217 days clean!) Before GYE the longest I went was about a week or so but usually fell daily. Thanks to the wonderful people behind GYE and all who take time to read/post/moderate the forum.

its amazing how far I've come as my first response to my fall was: now is a time to restart and reflect on how far I've come!
The greatest thing GYE gave me this far was that it's all about this moment and getting through the day. Celebrate the ups and don't let the downs be downfalls only stepping stones to improve.

i don't have time now but iyh bn I'll continue over shabbos to analyze why this took place and how to prevent falls in the future.

 Thanks again to all and have a wonderful Shabbos!

Dont take it personal, 217 DAYS, not 7 months is a milestone, i just read the chizuk email, Sheva Ypoil Tsadik vkum, you cant go straight up only when you come from below, so it will be a real "yeridah letsoirech aliya. 
stay strong, dont get depressed, hashem is with you, 217 days is a huge achievement. 

You have made great progress.  I wouldn't over analyze it.  You are obviously doing many things right.  Don't make too big a deal about it, and just keep on trucking.  Mazal Tov on your clean time!  (I'm not saying that you shouldn't analyze it, just don't "over" analyze it.)

you can look at it as 217 days, every day is a separate win, and you can look at it as a big picture, 7 months, so 217 days is a huge milestone when every day is a day for it self, a struggle and a win.

Very good, thanks!

Just checking in, bh another great day!

Back on track bh.

BH! Mazeltov on the clean time! Great your truck's back on the beaten track, don't let its ego spill over!!

Baruch Hashem Yoim Yoim, every TODAY is a Brache for it self...

Timing on this couldn't be funnier, I literally just walked in from a date.... maybe.... but thanks, really! 
Looking back I'm astonished at the growth you can have one day at a time! A few years ago I walked in to meet a therapist for the first time thinking I'm a goner yet here I am bh much healthier and dating!

as I'm walking by work doing an inspection I noticed a dirty magazine on the floor, thank you GYE for making me be able to be conscious enough not to pick it up!
