Btw, I don't consider it a "slip", nor do I downplay it as such. It was quite intentional. I can also say it wasn't a relapse either. I did not fall into the pattern of uncontrolled daily drinking. The event DOES scare me enough though to know I still have work to do. I'm not fooled into thinking I was somehow in control of alcohol. I was very afraid that I would continue when I got back.
But I got right back here and to the things I know i need to stay dry. I really want to get to the point where I can stand confidently on my own.
I will.
