Fell off the wagon after going on holiday last year….
Not proud of myself and need encouragement to get sober again.
Weekends are boring, have a 3 day weekend.
Dislike my job. Actually i dislike some of the people, the job is okay.
All just excusses…….
Welcome back!!! 
We’ve missed you!
ICanAndWill thank you. That brought a little tear to my eye…..i needed that.
Welcome back!
Realizing this 
has been a huge part of me staying sober this time. There are never any good reasons to drink just excuses.
Right on & back where you belong! No more listening to you when it comes to booze, or drugs, except that you don’t ever have/need to do them ever again! Hugs friend
I’m glad you’re back. Not all of us get the chance to come back.
What did you do during those 8 months that helped you to stay sober?
What did you stop doing that allowed you to think that drinking would be ok again?
Finally - what is it that you have told yourself you will not do in order to get sober, and why are you not doing that now?
Welcome back. I’m like you. Back after 18 great sober months. 4 days in and the clock starts again.
Welcome back 
I can relate to what you said about being on holiday, the same thing happened to me before. I made the mistake of believing I was cured, I could have a drink socially and know how to control it. I learned the hard way that the addiction never leaves us.
For now, take each day as it comes. Check in every day on TS to keep yourself accountable, and prepare yourself in case the addiction kicks you. Remember to have tools to get you past those tough moments. Read as much as you can here, it is very motivating, and you’ve people around you that understands what you’re going though.
Good to see you here 
What did you do during those 8 months that helped you to stay sober?
I stayed away from the pub and did not buy alcohol.
What did you stop doing that allowed you to think that drinking would be ok again?
Well i went on holiday with familty and drank when away.
Finally - what is it that you have told yourself you will not do in order to get sober, and why are you not doing that now?
I need to stay out of the pub. I enjoy going but need to find a better use of my time…i have a very active mind and get bored easily. I think the alcohol removes that activity.
Maybe try a meeting might help wish you well
Welcome back! Glad u posted and that ur trying again! We are in this together 
I get that avoidance alone has a limited effectiveness. It is required, but not sufficient. What about recovery programs like AA or Smart Recovery, or an intense outpatient program?
Growing your sobriety is different from abstinence.
welcome back @printerman
recovery requires daily work, not just avoiding your DOC.
you bored? get that work going! rwad, educate yourself about addiction, sobriety and recovery, work on the underlying isdues, join a program, binge on podcasts, documentaries, tons of recovery content out there. No excuses. Do the work.
But first: Drink water, shower, sleep, eat and put your sober head on the pillow tonight
You are not alone.
