Had to reset. Feeling frustrated. I tend to self medicate and like to unwind with a drink after work. My downfall is always that after work beer…sigh

Ugh i know that feeling! But don’t worry stay positive. Resetting doesnt mean you have to start over. The progress you made before is still there. This was just a hiccup! Hang in there and jump right back into the sober life!

Replace the after work beer with something else…find another drink you like and only drink it after work. Maybe an ice coffee, or a fruity frozen icee…just a suggestion. That’s part of recovery, replacing old toxic habits with new healthy ones. We like rewards, and a beer after work is a reward…so reward yourself in a different way.
Don’t be too hard on yourself about having to reset…I have 5 years clean, but the number of “resets” I had was pretty high! We all fall down, just get back up!
