Back after a while away and in the drink. On Day 4 today and feeling good. The strange part? I’m heading back from a family wedding where the booze was everywhere and flowing freely - yet I didn’t want to drink. Except for a passing thought, quickly replaced by scrolling ahead to the consequences and then not wanting to mess things up, I felt solid.

I’ve come to realize that simply having booze around isn’t a trigger for me. My big triggers are loneliness and stress from work. I live alone so the first one is harder. I think I drink because I feel disconnected, not because I love booze.

I'm sorry you relapsed, but it's great that you're back again. Now that you've pinpointed some triggers, your plan will have to include how to handle those triggers when they surface again. I have to tweak my plan from time to time.

4 days is great. Keep it going!
