Every slip is an opportunity for growing. Addicts and alcoholics have a tendency towards black-and-white thinking. This all-or-nothing thinking got us into trouble in the first place.
So, you had a drink! Don't do it again and you'll be fine!
I'm not trying to over-simplify things, but if you don't drink, you won't get drunk!
I've relapsed and "slipped up" many, many times, but today I focus on the growing, not the drinking, and the more that I focus on the growing, the less I THINK or CARE about the drinking!!!
I don't know how long it's been since I had a drink ... and I don't CARE!!! I know that it's been MONTHS, and to me, that's just great! I plan to continue on this path.
Wishing you the best on your journey,
Sugar xo
