Little slip then your new strength took over. Well done if you ask me and now even stronger.

Hugs, Steve.

Tamtam - I think it is good that you know and understand what is happening - Jaba says that I need to drink more mindfully and I think that is exactly what she means ! Good for you leaving the glass of wine .... and I know you will be back on track - but the brain is still hoping for that old buzz !!

Hugs, Maggie x

tam tam I think you did well. Nothing to be ashamed of. Just learning to navigate with new habits. Newlife

Ugh! Business class and the lounges...that would have been tough for me to resist, too. It is behind you and I feel like shame is a destructive feeling. You are working toward a better life, and you should always feel proud of that, no matter how many little setbacks you face.

I agree tamtam; taking the pill too late is way better than not taking it at all. we're not perfect (that's why we're here!). consider it a learning experience....

I did not have much of a progress lately. Was on a vacation and every evening my husband and I shared one bottle of wine. Occasionally, we would also have one glass of wine or beer over lunch. I was never drunk, however, my numbers are now way up from where they were and there were no AF days. I took Nal every day, but felt zero effect. I never lost desire to drink that half of the bottle. The only success was that I did not have desire for more. I hope to get back on track, but I guess it will be hard after my recent loose behavior.

Tamtam, I think that sharing a bottle of wine with your husband while on vacation is wonderful! I would be posting that as a success! And the fact that you had no desire for more is fantastic! That is the goal I hope to reach some day! Vacations should be about letting loose a little.

I agree Tamtam I think that what you are describing is perfectly reasonable and in control behavior. Be proud of yourself. XoXO newlife
