It's so easy to forget....and, for me, I feel surrounded by people drinking so that makes it hard.
I try not to beat myself up for drinking again, after 20 years of heavy drinking I've done well this year but its tough to deal with being back here again.
I might reread some of the Jason vale book someone mentioned earlier....that really helped me back in January... It's just how to keep that focus!
