Tats,
I am sorry, but it can be a blip if you just stop now. It won't be the terrible withdrawls if its off one day.
Look at O, thanks to support from YOU (and others) she is back and stronger than ever. But you dont need to turn this into a prolonged drinking spree, it can be a one off and back on.
In my view, we are never starting over, you are continuing your path after taking a detour. But the shorter the detour the better.
This was the kind of thinking that made the difference for me -- my AV would tell me, you are a failure so might as well drink more. But ME, the real me, ignored the AV and said yes I did drink and that was not so clever, but I can still be clever going forward. And that difference from all or nothing thinking to doing the next right thing, even when I had made a mistake, makes all the difference.
You can learn from this, but you do not need to be consumed by it.
Coffee?? Hawk's going to brew us up some french roast.
