You're back, and that's the important thing.

One thing often suggested around here is to review what happened in terms of your sober plan when you had you relapse, and to "shore up" the weak points
with a new strategy in case the same trigger happens again.

Example: You go to the beach which makes you want a beer, and you have one
that starts the relapse.

Revised plan: Pack a picnic lunch including refreshing NA drink like tea or sparkling water next time you go to the beach, and take your phone with you to post to SR in case you feel a craving coming on.

Alternate plan: Don't go to the beach for awhile until you are stronger in sobriety.

Every time you "improve" your sobriety strategy, you get more bulletproof for relapse. But caution is always our watchword around booze.

Glad to see you back Mummy!
