And back where I started..

Hi all,
I thought I was doing great, I didn't have a drink for almost 3 months and avoided looking at this forum as it reminded me of where I had been. I know I should have kept checking in to keep me going, but when I felt weak and needed the help I decided that one drink wouldn't hurt and now I'm pretty much back to square one. (Except that now I know that I can go without drink, and I just need help to back me up sometimes).
Any tips on how to restart?

Hi Downunder and good on you for coming back; check out the Newbies Nest - a nice, friendly and supportive place to start. And read as much as you possibly can on here, especially the stories from many of our success stories here. You will be inspired!
And you know the rest.....check in daily or hourly if you must. Good luck!

Get a new plan and stick to it. Know where you failed the last time, and work on fixing it. Don't stop coming here and learn to say no to that one drink.

I understand "enjoying" the wine, but there's the after to deal with that's not so enjoyable, heh.
You asked how to restart in your first post. I reckon we all know that if we look inside. I hope you're ready soon to come out of misery. How about today? 3 months is quite a success. You can do it:l
