For me, it took realizing that the relapse actually is occurring before you take that first sip. I had to learn to shut it down (AV) before it got to the actual drinking stage of the relapse. Hang in there, Ngognito. At least you came here the next day and didn't continue with a binge.

I really wanted to drink yesterday too, in fact I actually went ahead and tried to make plans to go out and have a few beer for the football games. Thankfully, those plans never worked out, but now I still feel guilty... even though I didn't end up drinking. I know that I would have. And I know that I would have regretted it today. I need to get focused again.

What happened to this post after the football?
Ah well, no worries, we've all been there!! . . . but definitely avoiding bars for a bit might be a good idea!! 
PS. Did not drink today. Really wanted to. Wanted to but LOTS of good advice made me reconsider it. TY SR. When that urge I come to talk.
