It’s only “down the drain” if you don’t learn from what caused you to stumble. Sobriety is a lifelong journey. From those posts to today you wandered a bit, but now appear to be back on the path to sobriety.
Every day is another chance to try again! Don't give up on sobriety or yourself!
Sounds like it was just one day down the drain, unless you just accept defeat and give up.
Unfortunately not. That "exception" lead to another year of drinking.
Ah I guess I missed the part about it being from last year. Bummer.
Everyday is a new day and a new opportunity. Don't dwell on the past of beat yourself up, we are not perfect beings, that is what makes you human. Don't think in years or month or even weeks about this, lets just do today and when tomorrow comes we'll tackle that tomorrow. IWNDWYT friend.
