Relapsed

Well after a good run last month i've relapsed.

Only had 4 days of moderate drinking but I need to stop the cycle now and dry out again.
So today is Day 1!
Just asking for some support as we all know day 1 is the hardest.
I have work on today so I should be distracted most of the day. Fingers crossed.

Now you know you can, so shake yourself off and get back on the horse that threw you.

Don't let it turn into 5 months moderate drinking like I did

I'm on day one again and it's tough....easier to quit from a short relapse rather than a long one.

If ya get bucked off get right back on it and show addiction who's boss over it, then grab the bull by the horns and take it down. You can do this!

Great job on making it through day 1 Sober32. Like Dee said, a plan really helps. If you have contingencies for when your AV kicks in, you have a much better chance at controlling the urges. It will also help you focus on keeping busy; idle time was always tough for me in the beginning.

Stay strong today.

Congrats on day 2. The first week was the hardest for me. Make a recovery and support plan. With time things will get better and you will see how sobriety is a true gift.
