I drank
Am not going back to it.
I drank some ncquil when I was really sick a few weeks ago cause I had run out of the kind with no alcohol. I knew I had lost my sobriety from that so when the pressure to drink felt big last weekend, I just went ahead and did it. I learned that I don't wanna be a drinker. I don't want that in my life.

I drank NyQuil the other night to help me fall asleep and I never thought to think about the alcohol in it until I noticed on the label it said alcohol free. I thought well thank god! Never crossed my mind to think about it. I don't think I would have let that be a pass to drink though. Who knows though. Have a great day and stay sober just today. And then we will deal with it again tomorrow

I didn't drink Nyquil but I drank mouthwash. You ever blackout drinking mouthwash? That's not fun. I finally got serious about the program of AA and once I did my life changed! Mind you I was going to AA meetings while drinking so there is a big difference from attending meetings and working with a sponsor and following the steps. Good luck and I hope you find a meeting soon and get a sponsor!

On 7/17 you posted a thread titled "I'm close to drinking". Then today you posted a thread titled "I drank".
Do you think that perhaps starting a formal recovery plan such as AA/AVRT or seeing an alcohol counselor about some kind of rehab might be your next step?

I don't take Nyquil anymore, not because of the alcohol, but because it doesn't work for me. There are so many better medicines out there nowadays.
I'm with Scott. I know I have to have a plan that I'm actively working on, or I just feel my locus of control go out the window, and become external rather than internal.

Having a plan and failing is a good sign that it either needs tweaking or a complete reworking.
I thought I had a really solid plan until I learned I didn't.
Figuring out your triggers and how to overcome is part of what needs working on. Dust yourself off and keep on trying. You can do this
