The most important things already have been said and I agree to all of them.
Try to focus on the current day, not on tomorrow.
I come here almost daily, that helps a lot. If you have to Check in every hour, do it. As long as it helps you. Talk about everything that bothers you, there is nothing wrong in doing this.
You’ve done it before and you can do it again

We’re in this together Eva, and that realization, and that fact happening right here has made the difference for me between failure in the past and success now. Very glad to have you aboard as the more the stronger we are. Welcome to Talking Sober, wishing you all success!

Welcome to the forum Eva!!
Lean on the supports you used when you got sober for those 12 months. Maybe make notes on all the positives sobriety brought you and use them as reminders when you feel tempted to pick up.
You’ve done it before, you CAN do it again!
Checking in daily on the below thread really helped me with accountability, you may find it useful aswell

Love it Rob, lol. I’m ok with the status of peasant, as long as u drag me upwards with ya! No plan. I realised that if I eat dinner early, I don’t crave drink at all. So will start with that.

How are you doing today Eva?
Welcome here!
A relapse is hard, but the good news is it has learned you some stuff.
I had a relapse after 5 years of sober time.
I thought I was cured and could drink in moderation again. That went well for a few weeks and then the amound of drinks went more. The winewitch was back in my head and never stops talking 
So I came here for help and quit again. Sober for 4,5 year now with the help of this app and the people in it.
This is the first and most important thing we both learned:
we can’t have just one, we are never “cured”
Another good news is:
You know what works for you!!
You did it before for 1 whole year so you can do that again. You know what you have to do ore do not, just do it. Give it your all 
So welcome back to your sober life!
Keep us posted

Get sober to have a better life again. You can make further improvements that you didn’t get to make when you were sober for that year.

Glad you came back. You certainly have support here. Earlier today I made a primitive drawing of my Sober Wheel with 5 spokes on it. I suck at drawing so I’m glad my son just agreed to make me a better version. He is a fine artist,actually earns a living at it. Anyway I share this with you @Eva19 .You can do this if I can. ODAAT.
I know I know. The spikes are Language of the Heart, my AA home group, Refuge Recovery which is Buddhist based recovery, do it virtually 3x/week and live one night/week,Sober Time,Al-Anon and a meeting that came to be organically,Saturday morning meet with 5 other AA guys for coffee and accountability. I dubbed it New Tradition. That combo works for me . 361 days clean. Wish you the best.

You’ve got this. Day two here and I almost ordered a drink when out to dinner, then played the tape forward and ordered a soda. So glad I did. Keep coming back here, we’ll get each other through!
