Day 1 again
I was going to say that I fell into the moderation fallacy. But that wouldn't be quite right. I didn't "fall" in -- it was a choice I made. Lying to myself was, of course, a key part of it. Saying to myself, I've never been one to drink two bottles of wine in one night, nor a fifth of vodka in one day or two days, so I can do the moderation thing.
There have been many days over this period when I did not drink at all, or had one glass of wine at a restaurant and stopped there. It just reinforced the lie. But last night, after 2 glasses of wine at a restaurant, I came home and had three more. There wasn't any prosecco in the house; I bought it on the way home. I poured out what remained in the bottle and now it's in the recycle bin.
So, day 1.

Well done on coming back Minerva, I know it isn't the easiest thing to do. Stand up, brush yourself down, learn from what happened, draw a line under it and move on. Oh and be kind to yourself too. xx
