Relapse, disappointed and hating myself

Hi, this is my first thread here. I drank daily, roughly 12 drinks per day for 3 years, which was me at my worst.

I quit cold turkey, i had withdrawals but i also checked myself into outpatient rehab and successfully completed that.

I just reached 45 days sober and drank yesterday. I dont even know what came upon me to make me do it.

Im starting at day 0 again. Any advice to stay sober?

Don’t hate yourself. you made it to 45 days without drinking! That’s huge! Have you tried attending an AA meeting? They really help me, plus it keeps me from being bored at home. Boredom is my top reason for drinking.
