I relapsed after 2 years sober. Started a week ago when I grabbed a kombucha & then learned it was hard kombucha (4.4%). Last night I had 3. I drank bc I have been stressed. Feel like shit today.

Today is a new day OP. You know what you need to do to stay sober. Take it one day at a time. You haven’t had a drink today and you canceled plans tonight so you won’t be around alcohol. That’s a great first step! Take some time to be upset but don’t dwell on it since you can’t change it. You got 2 years sober once, you can do it again. I believe in you! 💜

It really is one day at a time. Today is a new day. Go sit in the steam room or sauna and sweat out the bad stuff. Take a long walk to clear your head. We’ve all been there. We know you can do this. Thinking of you.

2 years sober. One night fuck-up. I see that as a 99.9% success. Don’t beat yourself up and jump back in to sobriety.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?

I’ve slowly started drinking less and less. And the less I’m drinking the more I realize just how much of my time revolved around alcohol. From going to get it, to drinking it to fighting hangovers. Now I realize I need something to fill all that time with. Especially now that I’m not spending all day saturday and sunday deathly hungover. I go for walks and run errands…but in a shock to me…there’s still a lot of time left. How did you start spending your time once you stopped drinking?
