My Sober Diary : Day 10 : Day 1

Well, that one glass did not stay at one. But, oh boy, did I mess up. Twice in a row. But, as it is said, relapse is part of recovery. I’m not too fond of that phrase but, what I also know to be true is, beating oneself up is a sure-fire way to relapse.

I am, therefore, back on day one or day zero, if you will. I am not going to ruminate on the past two evenings but instead focus on today. I am not entirely sure what led to that first glass on Friday evening, but I see that good sleep is critical to the recovery process for me.

This is something that I am going to watch and guard very closely over the next week. I am also going to keep the following quote fresh in my mind.

Today is a beautiful day to be alive. The rest is up to me.
