Be strong. These things happen. It is hard to stop alcohol. It’s always there, lurking, tricking you. It’s a new day today. Take one day at a time. Today is a good day, you did not drink today.

A little bit alcohol in a while is normal. Don’t worry. I drank a beer last night but not much, about one cup. I feel good about drinking beer because I don’t abuse it. just once in a few weeks.

Sometimes I hate myself too, especially when I make stupid mistakes. But its really a passing phase, give it time and you will not hate yourself quite so much anymore. I speak to myself first - its important to be able to forgive oneself after one has made a mistake - after all - we are only human!

ty everybody! im ok now i now know that i cannot have ANY alcohol in the house even for cooking. im just going to start again its a new day. (bit melodromatic or what) hehe
I never hate myself, even if I have weaknesses, it is useless, love yourself and you get better, we all make mistakes and stupid things, I have done many stupid things in my life, but I love myself and try to learn from my mistakes.

3 years without drinking - thats quite an accomplishment - congratulations. Try again - and I bet you can make it to 4 or 5 years.
You’re on the right path to recovery.
Keep in mind:
Research indicates that self-compassionate individuals experience greater psychological health than those who lack self-compassion. For example, self-compassion is positively associated with life-satisfaction, wisdom, happiness, optimism, curiosity, learning goals, social connectedness, personal responsibility, and emotional resilience.
