So about a week ago I failed and picked up a bottle on my way home from work. This invariably resulted in me starting right back up.

Back to 24 hours sober.

welcome back dogged

why do you think you bought that bottle?

I've been trying to work that out myself. I got an intense craving right as I was passing the store and had a fleeting thought that I might be able to control it. I knew that I couldn't but somehow let my AV overpower my rational thinking.

It wasn't an occasion or anything I can point to that triggered it. I wasn't stressed (at least I don't think I was) or celebrating anything. Just stopped being vigilant about the extent of my addiction.

Good luck with this attempt, you can do it xxxx

It might be good to have a plan for if you get blindsided again - people to call, or log in here...anything but feed the monster

Dogged I'm glad you are back on track. 24 hrs. is an accomplishment. We know you can do it this time.

I'm glad you're trying again. Keep at it til you get it right.

Sometimes the cravings come out of nowhere. They did for me. Dee is right about having a plan. That can make all the difference. You can do this!
