How about a plan? Can you go back to AVRT? AA for a while? I think having a plan after relapse is helpful. Also, I was listening to a researcher talk about the affects of alcohol use on brains. Our brains, some of us, anyway, get "rewired" from the alcohol. It takes time for things to become somewhat normal. He said that relapse can be part of recovery. Sometimes we relapse more than once, but eventually, if we are careful and mindful, the relapses occur less often and we stay in recovery. It sounds like you are on your way. Toss or give away the beers. Begin again.
