The cravings can be bad. I still have awful cravings on the weekends. I drink lots and lots of coffee on the weekends because I want to drink alcohol so bad.

You need to find a replacement. Some people, it's sweets or chocolate. Some people drink lots of water. Honestly, don't keep alcohol in your house, I wouldn't have that self control either.

You relapsed, it happens, and it's ok. Learn from it, possibly boredom was a factor? How can you remedy that next time.

Every relapse is a learning experience. Just pick yourself up and try again, you CAN do this.
This is quite harsh. If we could control ourselves we will probably not be here.

@jillian2563 it happens and what is done is done. Go out for a walk, have some fresh air. You will feel better. Remember it's a constant battle and thank life you have a new chance to get sober without major consequences.
