Glad that you're alright, NC. Well done for dumping the beer out.
Yep, coming straight out of hospital and taking a sip of beer - with us alcoholics/addicts it's just like that. I read once about a cocaine addict who was hospitalized and started doing coke in her hospital bed once the doctors had left the room. This is why we need help to recover from our addictions, so I'm glad to see you reaching out on SR.
