It started out as, "oh, just have two beers. It will taste great and will go great with the movie."
" Second, I do have the will power to stay clean even when there is a lot of social pressure to drink."
Lessons learned and questions to be asked - I had a simlar experience.
I learned I had the phenomenon of craving, which really pinned down exactly what the problem is.
Questions to be answered: What happened to my willpower? Where did it go? Why didn't I remember why I stopped drinking? Why didn't the obvious consequences provide sufficient reason to stop me. How come the insane idea of just a couple of beers win out over past experience?
And for me it wasn't the first time. When I look back at past horrors, when I consider the horror stories that other people have told me, I have to ask why even those stories did not spring to mind to save me from temptation.
Until I found a way to address these questions, this experience could and probably would repeat itself.
