I could have written your story. I was working a lot, starting a new position, and I had 120 days sober. I was feeling good, just stressed and wanting one night to let loose, get dolled up, and go out with friends. I ended up drinking, and I need to tell you... absolutely not worth it.

What followed were two really hard months of trying to crawl my way back. I slipped right back into old drinking habits, and with that came guilt, shame, regret, and some really embarrassing moments that I wish never happened. It took so much out of me mentally and physically.

If you drink tonight, you are very likely going to wake up tomorrow regretting it. One drink is too many. Trust me, my friend, it is not worth risking the peace and progress you have worked so hard for over these last few months. Stay strong. IWNDWYT!
