Jordan, I’m glad you are safely back. The risks you take with each return to drinking just get higher and deeper.

What is it that you haven’t done in the past to grow yourself a strong sobriety? What do you need to do now?

Blessings on your house :pray: as you continue your journey.

You know what happened. You picked up. At what point before ordering that beer did you think you could manage drinking again?

The “just one” argument is such a persuasive one. I framed it like, if I am struggling about the first drink, then how much more will I struggle once I have a drink inside me? Refusing the first drink is easy compared to refusing the second, and I want to do what is easy.

I’ve been here and I’ve done this. You can’t drink for 5 hours if you don’t have that first drink. How can you avoid that first one, because we both know that one is never just one. I hope you try again. You’ll get it. :mending_heart:

I remember my first relapse. I was leaving Germany with 9 months sobriety. To celebrate, my drinking friends came over and we partied. I had two days to sober up and leave i was so ashamed. But I’m still here.

I love that, refusing the first is the only unaltered decision. Past that the battle grows
