I stay away from "alcohol flavored" things. Even though there is no alcohol in it, the sweet drinks were something that could trigger me.

You did not slip unless you ran out to purchase some real Kahlua at a liquor store and drank it!

Be careful with colognes, mouthwash or other things as some people are sensitive enough that after a few days of using those products, a true craving comes and they actually go out and drink. It is different for every person.

Extracts have about 35% alcohol in them, but most is baked out, just don't go drinking some from the kitchen cabinet, you will get a buzz and that would be a relapse/slip. I know one person who did that and finally had to restart his time (honesty). He also ended up purchasing his drink of choice and was "out there" for a while.

Know your triggers. Each day is a learning experience.
