There were a few contributing factors to failing. One, I stopped going to therapy because things were going so well. My therapist probably let me stop going because I lied about how bad my alcohol problem was. I started having "just one" because I thought I had reset whatever issues I had that were contributing to me having more...which is all bologna talk, and I get that.
I signed up for this group because I separately needed some support. I wante to see if there were other binge drinkers out there that gave it up entirely....turns out there are, and that gives me comfort that I'm making the right decision.
It's the times that I had "just one" that were giving me pause. If only I could keep those and lose the binge episodes.
But they are one in the same.
