thanksgiving was day 26 for me and I had to reset because I had some wine with dinner. It was only 2 and a half glasses and I was trying hard to stay away but I finally gave in. I’m trying not to be too hard on myself because it’s not like I drank until I blacked out or anything but I know it’s a slippery slope. On day 1.5 now and moving forward. No matter what I’m changing my relationship with alcohol and happy about that. How did everyone’s holiday go?

@coco I love your positive attitude on this. The most important thing is you learn from it. Have you asked yourself why you gave in? What were you thinking about? Who were you with?
It was difficult for me seeing posts on Facebook of my friends out drinking and having a good time. I had to remind myself why I started my journey and that I don’t want to be in that dark place. The struggle is real everyday. Just have to keep moving forward, learn when we fall back, get back up and keep moving forward. You got this!

Thanks I’m trying! I think I gave in because people around me (my girlfriends family) were drinking, and I was rationalizing that it was just a treat since it was a special occasion. It wasn’t even worth it really because it just made me sleepy after eating all that food. Seeing other people drinking on social media was hard for me too! Glad you got through it, I like your advice of focusing on why we are doing this in the first place
