Well.....

My head was doing that also... at around 5 months.

Then I decided I had just needed a break. I just needed to be AWARE of my emotions and reasons for drinking. Not drink for the wrong reasons. Just take it easy......

And I did. A few times.

A year and a half of blackouts and close calls and 'lucky-I'm-alive's' later I finally emerged from that dark and despairing relapse and got it together to embrace sobriety for real.

I'm happier and more stable and solid and joyful and grateful and fortunate now than ever. Over two years in, life just keeps on getting deeper, richer, better. I'm so glad I made it back from that stupid decision alive. I wish I'd not taken a year and a half more misery to get there.

Double down on your changes and actions to deepen your sobriety. 10 months is a wonderful foundation. Please, don't blow it.
