I relapsed after 20 days. I heard in a meeting today " it's easy to be sober when you're feeling good". The true test is remaining sober when you are not feeling good.
I keep coming back and I will continue to keep trying.

Just get back on that horse Carissa. Are you working with a sponsor?
No, but I know I probably should.

And I'll say that when things are not going well, it's easier for me to stay away from booze because I KNOW things will get much worse very quickly if I drink. In the past, I have relapsed on vacation or during good times because I let my guard down. One day at a time we stay sober whether things are going well or poorly. I am happy you are back and sober today!

That's true. It takes work either way. I keep going back expecting different results-its insanity really. And the thing is I KNOW alcohol will NEVER be good for me.
