Relapse is a part of recovery. After having several drinks over several different days, I decided it would be best to reset my counter. My goal of remaining sober has not changed. I am working with my counselor to identity the antecedents leading up to my choice to drink, and we are working to identify healthy coping mechanisms to support continued sobriety. My only goal today is to be kind to myself, because any feelings of shame or guilt will fuel me toward making more bad choices. And today I choose peace, kindness, and sobriety. #alcoholfree #day1 #recoveryisnotlinear
