I remember hearing some of the hard core folks in AA meetings talk about this all the time. I just can't quite buy that a tiny amount of alcohol will precipitate a relapse..... or maybe my bottom wasn't low enough. IDK.....
I would never tell someone else what to do about things like mouthwash....I know what my own limits are though - I feel it in the gut thinking about certain scenarios. I don't want wine sitting around the house, for example, so I wouldn't buy a bottle for cooking......It's not that I'd drink it necessarily; I just don't want to look at it or smell it......... Other things (cosmetic or medicinal products) I can't imagine drinking...... a whole bottle of Nyquil?- uck! - but I will say I knew a guy who used it on a regular basis when he was still drinking (he was a counselor of mine).
You're doing fine.... I wouldn't worry, Lively. Hope you feel better really soon!
