I’ve had a rough week and I was already going on day 27 of not drinking well my boys went for the whole weekend with there dad so me being lonely bored my best friend calls me to eat a quick lunch well that lunch turned into a day of drinking ugh I’m dissapointed in myself because I feel weak and really disappointed 
Then the hangover wasn’t fun either and reminded me why I stopped in the first place
Only good thing was I didn’t do anything to embarrassing and had a friend drive me home…I keep beating myself up about it any words of encouragement to help me get thru this?

Everyone has bad days/weeks.
You were doing ever so well. Try getting back into that mindset that got you to day 27.
Also it’s the trigger points/people. Maybe distance the likely ones who will tempt you into drinking. If that means most or all then so be it. That’s exactly what I’m doing. You need to do it whole heartedly and seriously. But you can and will do it!! Good luck

Relapse is a part of taking back our lives. I’m pretty sure it took more than 27 days to get you to this point in drinking, so don’t beat yourself up over drinking once in that time. Look at it like this… you went 27 days, had one off day. Now go 54 days, and see if you can NOT drink. If you do, pick up and move on. We only have TODAY. Today is what matters, yesterday is over and tomorrow hasn’t happened. Yesterday’s history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. That’s why its called the “present”. Keep up the good fight. Took me 10 years of trying to get it. But I’m better, alive and well. Best of luck!

What @Sidwho79 says @Jennifer1.
It shouldn’t matter what kind of day, week, month you have. We have to learn to deal with them without falling back on our old crutch.
Same as if you find yourself on your own. Say no to your friends.
It’s hard, because ultimately you are saying no to yourself and that’s fucking hard.
So just remember all this next time you find yourself in this situation.
Be strong.

I think this is the most dangerous time. From experience. You’ll think, hey this last time I didn’t do anything dumb. So next time you wanna drink you’re like, I got this.
A loss is a loss.
You will be stronger, pin point your errors, I’m sure you can beat this.

It’s only human to slip up, you just pick yourself back up and try again. Just like @Sidwho79 said, change your trigger places and people. Do you have a hobby so your busy and dont be bored. Also do you have other family or a support network to be with when you dont have your boys so your not lonley? Good luck!
