start again
I am new here, although I have read the posts lots of times before. I was sober since January, although a couple of slips, this week though, I have drank 3 times, I am scared to slip back, but I know I can do this

I went to a 2 week day program, and also attend regular workshops, I am going to start going to an after care group once a week, it is the in between times that are hard, and the one won't hurt mentality, I appreciate your kind words, I am scared because I have a birthday party to attend tonight, my plan is not to stay long
Do what's best for you while you're still feeling fragile. If the party is too tempting maybe you should consider not going? I had to be careful for the first few months - until I was more confident.

If you have to go to this party then do so, but once you feel that anxiety we alcoholics get around booze then leave, at least you showed up. Put your recovery first before anything else, without it there will be nothing anyways.
Hi there
Welcome. Put yourself first and be careful with social situations!!!
I feel badly right now because I just canceled going to a dinner party with my husband but I KNOW everyone is going to guzzle fine wine and then there's me drinking cola. I'm not ready for that. We are eating at home and going to a movie. I feel bad not seeing my friends but I know they will want me to drink and have fun - not b/c they are bad people but they don't understand.
Just be strong for yourself which is hard sometime!
