People told me to never stop coming to the forum, even if i was embarrassed after a binge... and what did i do? I didn't listen. 2 months later i'm forcing myself to come back and face the music. I've had a terrible 2 months which has resulted in me and my parents deciding that we all NEED to change our lifestyles. As some of you may remember i live in Spain and returned after the christmas holidays yesterday. I vowed that today would be day 1(again) of complete abstinence and thought i had managed to complete day 1 until someone pointed out to me that the non alcoholic beer that was included in my 'set christmas menu' actually has 0.9% alcohol and i feel ridiculously guilty that i have already failed. I am edgy from alcohol withdrawal and think i need this forum more than ever.
Blah.
Blah.

Is it pathetic that i'm devastated over one 0.9% alcohol beer? I'm so nervous and edgy that i feel like a complete failure and grabbing for the nearest glass of wine. It's going to be a rough couple of days.

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I just know i'm in for a difficult couple of days and i'm dreading it. Back to work tomorrow and dreading it, had a bad start to 2015 with two deaths and a lot of bad luck. My head is fried.

Don't consider it a relapse. Did you go out and intend to drink it your recovery be damned? Myself, I was going to buy a real beer and opted for the NA instead. It has kept me off real beer. Now I'm beginning work on changing habits not just quitting not alcohol. NA is a part of that for me at the moment. Had I bought a 6 pack of real beer it would have been a relapse. A 6 pack of NA was a safer alternative for me and I feel a large part of keeping me from real alcohol. Just don't do it again but don't take away credit from yourself by calling it a relapse!
