Thanks Cerb for the thoughts and words of encouragement. I think some people would look at a slip up as starting again from Day 1. I can't do that to myself. I've done a lot of heavy lifting about things over the past 6 months, and this cannot be all for naught. I have over 5 months of really healthy living under my belt and getting back to that is more of a motivation than getting away from the bottle was back in July. It's the difference between working toward something (sobriety) or running away from something (drinking). Back in July, I didn't know what the future could hold. I know this much better now. This is not to say that I'm cured or I don't have a problem, I do have better coping mechanisms than I did 6 months ago - and need to figure out more. Thanks again for your support.
