Slip-ups happen. Relapse is a part of recovery. Just get back on that soba wagon and YOURE good
I couldn’t for the life of me understand why people choose alcohol to relapse with. Over some other (unnamed) substances. But to eaches own my good dear sir. I guess they don’t know any better (or worse…more like equivalent….nah better).
Lol and good luck with your path
Love your posts. Keep the updates coming if you like !! We’re here for you!!
I’m sorry, llama friend. Can you substitute with a different “drink”? I mean, I know alcohol has a certain affect on you, but is there a really yummy SAFE drink that you can consume, instead? Like, to put in it’s place? That way, you’re still drinking something, but it’s not harmful.
I like Zevia sodas. They’re really yummy. I also like coffee. And Gatorade Zero. I drink those things a lot.
Is there something like that that you can get some satisfaction from? Just a flavor satisfaction and not a mind altering satisfaction?
Can you do something to try and take your mind off of it? Like a shower with music playing, or a walk while listening to music, or something else like that?
Just throwing out ideas. I hope you feel more at peace soon.

She wasn’t a advocate but she definitely did like me
Ps there’s probably no science on her theory but it resonated with me a bit
