Coffeenut, this is a great question. I am at a loss as to why I picked up again. I didn't have a drop for 3 yrs. once. I went on a date for the first time in ages, was very nervous, & when he offered me wine, I said yes without giving it a thought. I didn't tell him I didn't drink - nothing. That night I had 5 glasses of wine & woke up with a slight hangover, but thought to myself, "Well, nothing bad happened - I guess I can have a few now & then." Off I went, for 7 years of hell - complete with DUI's & chaos in every area of my life.

I will say - at the time I drank that fateful glass of wine, I was not particularly happy being sober (resentful), didn't get sober for the right reason (did it because my son was upset with me), wasn't working any program - & didn't know about SR.
