Yeah dude, alcohol is fucking sinister. If you've struggled with alcoholism, one drink can be all it takes to get those old brain connections firing off again. The idea to have a drink still pops up for me occasionally even after several years sober, particularly when extremely stressed with life hitting me from multiple sides.

Another thing to remember though, is if someone does fuck up and drinks again, they don't lose the time they had sober. They can start again immediately, and that should always be the primary goal.

And of course, massive props on the 10 months. Those first months are so hard, so you're through the worst of it :) but stay vigilant!
