Bradders, we have all done it, me included!

You have done 98 days and thats massive so you know you can do it again. You also know that you felt good while you were not drinking and so when you start again you will have nothing to fear.

Learn from it and put it behind you.

Have you done any reading on addictive voice recognition technique?
It might come in useful when after a few days the hangover has gone and those pesky thoughts come through saying 'one will not hurt' or 'its friday, I deserve it, long week'.

I know for me sometimes I think 'its warm, a pint of lager and lime in the sun would be great'.
Then I recognise that this is my addictive voice talking and to ignore it. It also would not be nice as I know where it could lead to. It never just is one drink with me.

I actually look at a glass of wine with great fear now. I know it has the ability to turn a pleasant evening into a nightmare. A nightmare that might last 3 days as well.

I wish you the best x
