Don’t worry about it Shay. The main thing is that you picked yourself back up.

I was nearly 30 days sober and I relapsed at a hen party. Like you I had put a lot of effort into my sobriety ( AA meeting every night , had a sponsor etc). I knew I was entering a dangerous situation but it was my best friend’s hen party and I had organised this event for over a year. I had no intention of not being a part of it and I didn’t intend to drink but I got lost in the excitement of it all..seeing the girls looking happy, drinking cocktails...ugh. It was too overwhelming. So I drank to be a part of the gang . Anyway three days later of heavy drinking I managed to stop . I then had another 9 days of sobriety and then drank again at her wedding. My goal is total abstinence but I refuse to beat myself up. It’s all a learning and it’s a long term change of self that isn’t going to occur over night for me . Every one has their own paths .

I have stopped drinking again . Day 4 . Onwards and upwards 😊
