I knew it was coming. Just the frickin dread. Probably ain't a good way to think but can't help it most the time. Wasn't even fun. Just piss drunk alone in a seat at a shite hole bar. Ain't sick or hurting just sad.

Forgive yourself and take it one day at a time.

If you are on a trip from New York to LA and you get a flat tire in St Louis you dont have to return to New York to start over again. Change the tire and keep on the move to your destination.

Yes it does. Start a relapse journal and write down any triggers leading up to it and then how much you relapsed. Then analyze your journal entry for how you could have avoided the situation or gotten yourself out of it.

Mistakes and relapses absolutely suck but everyone has them. What’s important is not that you relapsed but that you learn from it and improve for your next test and temptation.

Get back on the wagon man.

Sorry to hear that buddy. I don’t know that there’s much that can be said other than just get back on that horse and try to mitigate the circumstances that led to this relapse. Pulling for ya man.

Look at it this way, it wasnt great and is probably less appealing now than it was before.

It's not what you drink or how much you drink, it's how you drink.

Good. Beat yourself up but only a little bit. You probably know what triggered it this time. You can use that to avoid it again.

Get your arse to a meeting or to rehab. Whichever worked for you before.

You were drinking alone.... Reach out to whoever helped you before.

Well most importantly is that you bring yourself back up. Whenever you think about drinking again just think about how bad you feel after you do it. It will help you to decide not to drink. Try picking up a new hobby. Eating healthy and exercising daily will make you feel better. Good luck.

From someone that's been there beating yourself up will only lead to another let down. It happened. You know how you feel about it now start worrying now about day 1 becoming day 2 and so on.

I’m currently working on being sober for a while. Just something I need to do for myself.

It’s not easy, to be honest. You slipped up, forgive yourself, learn from it, and move ahead.
