So i went out to eat with my wife and she ordered this blueberry lavender lemonade not really pating attention to the menu. She thought she was just ordering a lavender lemonade. Upon receiving her drink she took a sip and said this is gross. Thinking it was just overly lavender flavored i tried it as well. It was disgusting. Still not expecting it to be alcoholic, we even let my daughter try it. All of us felt the drink was gross. After the daughter took a sip my wife wondered if maybe it was alcoholic. We didnt ask, but i had to know so i looked it up. Sure enough it is. Does this accidental sip count against my clock? I just hit a year and planned on getting my 1 year chip at a meeting tonight.

Thats what i feel too, but my wife feels horrible about this. I keep telling her it was an honest mistake. I think its funny the involuntary yuck face i made from the sip too.

I see a big difference between you having an accidental sip and me purposely getting in my car to go buy alcohol, you had no intent so don’t worry about it and congrats on 1 year

As others have said, it’s all about intent.
Congratulations on 1 year, that’s a huge accomplishment 
Lavender in anything should be illegal in my opinion

13 accidental sips following the initial one would be an entirely different situation.

Yup, what everyone said about mistakes and intent. I think a big part of getting clean/sober is your mental state and how you change that. You weren’t looking to “accidently” get a sip; it was simply a genuine accident.
Congrats on your one year.

Nope- completely non intentional
It happened to me with a free drink with Hello Fresh which I thought was fizzy water
The drink needs to be intentional, you didn’t carry on drinking or the premeditation wasn’t there

Congrats man!! That is awesome. Sorry you had that happen while at you guys were out to eat. That is 100% not your fault and doesn’t mean you “slipped” or relapsed.
Here’s to another year!
