I am back!
I haven't posted for a long time..and as you may've guessed, I did relapse. It's my 3rd week being sober. Last Saturday I went to a dinner party and I was the only person not drinking alcohol. For the very first time in 20+ years I managed to be *social* without any alcohol.

Welcome back. Stick around. I too have failed at social events especially intimate dinner parties and customer events. My advice is have a mental plan before such events. Plan what you will respond with to inquiries about you not drinking. And most importantly coach yourself.

Believe in yourself, that you can free yourself from alcohol and it will be so.

Welcome back all. There is never a reason to not come back if you still need support.
