Be careful not to let yourself think that because you stopped at 1 can, you have control and can drink in moderation. Your brain is probably going to try and tell you this, don’t listen. I’m glad you’re back

It’s not dumb if you learn from the experience. Analyse what happened. What triggered you, what made you decide to do it, why didn’t you use your sobriety tools, do you need more tools maybe? Etcetera.

I don’t think sobriety is about strength and weakness. As they say, you can’t break an addiction with willpower alone. It takes a plan and a strong support network. In that moment, you didn’t have the support you needed. How can you build that support network stronger? How can you put a plan in place for those moments when you’re angry and frustrated? You just need to build your foundation a bit a stronger. And those 109 days are still something to be proud of!

I’ve been there before, thinking I made it this many days I can do it again… I’ll start tomorrow, or after this event, or after this case is gone. My last relapse lasted years and was close to ending in suicide.
You still have soberiety momentum right now, grab onto it and fight like hell. Don’t get caught up in your reset, it’ll merely be a blip on the radar in the grand scheme of things. You may never have another chance as good as this one. We’re all here for you.

Not a relapse, just a lapse in judgement. You still made good progress and continue to make progress admitting it was a mistake. Stay strong and keep moving forward !

I relapsed so many times before I finally went to rehab and got sober for God willing the last time. Every one of them was harder and darker to come back from. But I learned a little bit from every stint I had sober prior to that. Whether it was a week, or 3 months. I kept trying new things and finally was able to put them all together. Take what you learned from this last sober streak and don’t ever give up quitting. When you want it or need it bad enough you’ll get it.

I’d say your deep feelings about not wanting that life anymore are strong in it. Your emotions are high. All those thoughts and feelings after that slip hit fricken hard. That’s the spirit in you saying, do you feel that?? Please don’t go back there. It’s poisoning.

Yea i was considering hard about drinking, but now i feel like I have a major hangover. Yea fuck booze i dont want to feel like this. What a dumb decision on my part. Thinking that having a drink was going to solve anything.

As everyone has mentioned previously… it happens, learn the “why” part and pay attention next time. I’m in the same place I make it further than I did last time, pick myself up, reach out to my sponsor and to sober friends. We are all here for each other! You can do this!!

Today is Day 50 for me. So you made it over double the length that I have. I am so impressed by what you accomplished. Last night I was driving home from work and thought about buying the wine that I love. I decided against it bc I thought, yea, the first glass will be great. then I will drink so fast that I will get trashed and probably contact people that are not good for me and then wake up feeling sick, get back on the drinking hamster wheel, feel ashamed and hate myself. So. guess what? your slip helped me and I am sure so many others. Thank you for sharing. And please don’t be hard on yourself.

Im not picking back up, it was a solid reminder why. Im happy I didnt get trashed , but I will take the lesson in it as to ‘why’ I chose not to drink.

Dont ever ever ever call yourself weak. I can tell you living life sober and having a small hiccup is anything but weak, life can throw us some fucking hard balls. I think with little slips we learn alot. I know for myself immediately after taking a drink drug or just getting fucked up i would always wish i was sober bc i hated the way i felt under a substance.
