I mentioned that this is my 3rd fall since I decided that I really need to do this. I can say that I have learned something from each of them.
First fall - call from an ex trying to reconnect brought up emotions that i'd never dealt with. Drank on it. Lesson: Things are going to happen. Deal with life on life's terms. In the end it is only me that can make me drink.
Second fall (and this is truly ridiculous) - was legitimately ill. Felt so sick it was like I was hungover. Might as well drink it away. Lesson: You are going to get sick sometimes. Deal with it. Don't indulge the bigger sickness.
Third fall - no particular reason, just some days off that needed filling. Lesson: have plenty of tools at the ready to combat these times. Because there WILL be times.
