I certainly wasn't trying to reprimand you and I didn't get that from any other poster either. I have thought before one sip wouldn't be a big deal. It is though. Maybe you think we are over reacting. The fact that you are getting consistent feedback that it is a big deal should make you take a look at the situation. Part of being able to remain comfortably sober is to completely change the way you think about alcohol. I doubt you would find many people with long term sobriety that would say any is OK. A person has to adopt the mindset that it is never OK.
