Thanks
Much appreciated

Learn from your lapse. 2 months is real work but now you know that going out to bars with friends in early recovery is not a great idea. Peer pressure and feeling like the odd man out is a lot to handle. What happened between the pop and the highball? Something shifted in your head before the order ever changed. Worth figuring out what that was before the next situation like this comes up.

Relapse was part of my experience too. I learned from each relapse.
What I should have done more of or less of or not at all.
I learned that my sobriety had to be my number one priority in life. Because nobody else could do it for me.
I learned that sobriety is the easier and softer way.
I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions
