I relapsed 7 months ago due to this guy that I was seeing. He kept questioning why I didnt drink and it seemed as though my answers weren’t good enough. This should have been the first red flag but I kept seeing him anyways. I took a trip out to see him and he ended up taking me out as a suprise to a karaoke bar because he knew I enjoyed music and singing. While there, he kept egging me on to have a drink. I said no maybe three times before I eventually gave in. I ended up with two drinks and was happy that it didn’t go any further. I felt devastated that I broke my sobriety and although I’ve been sober for 7 months now, this eats me alive. Especially because I haven’t really opened up about it. I work in recovery as well and that adds even more guilt. I feel like I’ve failed not only myself but my clients too and it has been extremely hard to bear. I’ve made it this far though and that thought along has helped me through. Tonight is a struggle though.
That's amazing you stopped at 2 drinks. I usually stop at jail or the hospital. It maybe wise to stop seeing this guy. Your sobriety comes first. Without it I know I have nothing. In recovery we don't kick our wounded and your experience could very well help someone else not to make thar same choice.
You can't dwell on a relapse all we can do is learn from it. So we don't make that same mistake with relapse, again, everybody stumbles, in sobriety, something that was told to me that it helped me a lot, don't worry about tomorrow, worry about today, take it 1 minute at a time 1 hour at a time. One Day at a Time. If you ever need to talk, reach out, I'm here to help you in your road to recovery. I struggle with it every day, even though i'm two and a half year.S sober
Always hate to hear of a relapse, especially at the detrimental encouragement of others. It’s a gut punch for sure but if you did it once, you’ve proven you have what it takes. Let’s go for round 2!7 more months with the “right” encouragement this time! You got this! 
Did we learn a lesson? If so what did we learn?
I've been sober for 13337 one days at a time and I even learned something about you and from your post. I ask myself "When will they ever learn?"
To thine own self be true.
Michael this doesn’t seem very encouraging. People are on this app for support so don’t spread negativity
Ciera you’re amazing for acknowledging what happened and wanting to grow from it. It’s unfair that you were pressured into it, especially by someone who is supposed to care for you. You’re doing incredible, keep it up! On the hard days, take it hour, even minute, at a time, you’re strong!
