I have been on a sober journey for a couple of years now. However, I feel that I’ve been extremely successful since October. I regressed once over Christmas for about 10 days. Since Christmas I have slipped up 2 times but with a total of 3 drinks. Each time I try to understand why I slipped or what led me to drink.
I feel that is a huge accomplishment but I can’t say I’ve been alcohol free for months because of these slips. Has anyone else been in a similar situation. I feel that I shouldn’t start from zero because I’ve put in so much work! Any advice how to overcome this mental battle of not feeling 100% “sober”?

You haven’t lost what you’ve learned and you’ve learned more. Success is success, don’t be too hard on yourself, just keep moving forward

Not zero! I relapsed about 3 weeks ago. Started off slow and then more more more till I was on an epic bender. Just stopping after a slip up and back to sobriety is moving forward. Dont judge yourself so hard.
