Its okay, we all slip every once in awhile. Just know you have people who are going thru the same range of emotions. I was so close to slipping last night. I threw out my beer frlm my last session a few days ago. That didnt mean their isnt a store blocks away. Its tough, its one of the hardest fights to have. Youre human. You got this.

Jeez thats no good. I was told once that with each slip up you learn something. Wether about you or about a situation. Its a learning process, so the next time you remember or remind yourself. As much as it felt good i dont want to feel this way or that way. It maybe feel good for a few hours but reality hits the next day. Its not so much fun.

Slips dont have to happen i know quite a few people who have got this first time, as for learning something from a slip if you had one why have another ? different mindset is needed maybe a different approach meetings will make it easier being with like minded people helps it helped me stay sober wish you well

Sit with that why.
Did you feel it coming on? Were you stressed and avoiding things? How did you stray from your recovery plan?
That urge came from inside so listen to your inner dialogue as it tells you what it needs. Then tell that addict voice to eff off and get back to quitting. Good job owning the slip, learn for it and move forward. Keep trying.

You leaned something: no alcohol in your house, it’s too tempting 
For me I avoided every alcohol related friend, event and places the first 3 months ore so of my recovery. Stripped my house from every full and empty bottle, wanted to start brand new.
Still sober since, almost for 5 years now.
You can do it too.

Thank yous! Day 2 & im more determined than ever. Theres still alcohol in the house and ive had days off work but i have no interest init. I cant deny my husband his beer or 2 at night, its not his fault that i cant stop at 1 or 2. I just need to keep on the train of thought of 1 day at a time & baby steps & keep consistent on here.

I can relate. My husband is a drinker so for me to stay sober , well I won’t lie to you, it’s waaay harder than if alcohol weren’t in the house. I turned into a sneak drinker for a couple of years before I finally was able to stop. TS has played a huge role in that, and I’m here every day because it helps me stay motivated and focused on my journey. I wish you well !
