Well done on the 6 weeks. You can do it again and then some. Try to look at what might have happened when the 1 or 2 drinks slipped in - so in the future you can recognize warning bells earlier and be conscious of it - and take different measures so not to pick up the 1st drink.

I can relate...my past relapses have almost all just seemingly out of nowhere snuck up on me...I'd think "what's the big deal..." and often at first it would only be 2 or 3. I'd then say to myself, "hey, nothing bad happened." And repeat...until I'm sliding down that slippery slope days or weeks later, and I'm so gradually back to drinking to obliviate, not even noticing the descent.

Just know that it is not "being weak". This is what the disease does. And know that you can stay sober, and also that you're most definitely not alone - we're here and we get it
