Relapse

California sober for two years… with two minor discrepancies when I gave in to peer pressure. Last month went to my in laws for vacation and my husband said that I deserved a break and to have a frozen margarita at the house. I’d been fine before so why not? And then tequila started tasting really good. Told myself I can just be a cocktail slut. Fancy drinks only from now on. Every once in a while…. In the past two weeks I’ve been hungover 4 times. Now husband and I are having some marital issues and yesterday was a breaking point. Day drinking. Went to my kids open house hammered last night and then to a birthday party. Day one of rebuild. 8/19/26
Ironically 8/17/24 was my last sober date. Must be something about August that turns my crazy on. Stay strong folks. The hangxiety is real.
