Absolutely true for me. I picked up a drink after two and a half years of content sobriety. I thought I’d take the edge off immense grief, just a couple of drinks. Oh no, didn’t happen. All the old neural pathways lit up, and my drinking reverted to the previous massive amounts I drank, within less than a week.
I don’t recommend it.
