Nicklazz,
8-9 is ace and you should be PROUD OF YOURSELF - not ashamed... Have you seen my Maintenance and Aftercare thread? You're more than welcome to come on there, I'm hoping that a few of us will and we can support one another with our recoveries / maintenance, if on it or anything to do with trying to battle and overcome an addiction.
Last time you came here after 6
1/2 days and had a drink - now you're here after 8-9 days. The gaps are getting longer and that's how it is for some people. While some people are able to abstain straight away, it is not always possible for others to do that this way; they have short periods of abstinence, relapse followed by another short period of sustenance which becomes longer each time - and it looks like you may be in the later category and there is NO SHAME WHATSOEVER IN THAT... Look at all the responses you've received from what I would state as extremely straight-forward people in terms of opinions and what not. I'm sure if there was any reason for shame, people would agree with you - as there isn't, they're not...
I'm sorry that your tests are coming positive for benzos - but keep going, Nicklazz - we're here for you. I should imagine that alcohol addiction is harder to beat and overcome than other forms of drug addiction in that it is easy to access it, it's almost everywhere and considered "the social drug," so to speak. 8-9 days is extremely good achievement.
Keep going, Nicklazz, you've got this - and we're all here for you every step of the way!
Thinking of you and wishing you the very best
