Relapse

I had three beers tonight. Goodness, I just craved a cold beer, and for the first time, a couple of posts on SR served as a trigger and not a deterrent. This speaks more about my early recovery than SR. You see what you are looking for.

I stopped when I realized I can't attend to my children if I am drunk. They are sleeping, but if they were to wake with a fever, I can't drive with this amount of alcohol in my body. So I am now drinking tea, proud of myself for not finishing the rest of the beer (confirms the fact that I am alcoholic) and getting ready to sleep and start anew.

With all due respect 2grandfathers, PLEASE don't suggest AA again. I anticipate you being the first to reply. :-) I am working recovery, and AA is not for me right now.
