Relapses start well before you lift a drink , sometimes we dont have any defence against the first drink unless we have a good defence in place maybe try seek out a program of recovery that suits you wish you well

Welcome, @Stella2 . As @Ray_M_C_Laren says, relapses have a beginning before you cave and use. So, you need tools to deal with those triggers and cravings. Take a good look at what your tools are and get more in place. Read quit lit. Practice self care. Have some activities you can enjoy to distract yourself. Come to TS for support. It has been a tremendous help to me. I was a constantly relapsing before I came here. Wishing you well!
