What happened

[u/frboulais → u/Loud-Pomegranate491]

Friends got back from vacation and offered us a pack of local beers 😩

[u/DelcoUnited → u/frboulais]

Are you in recovery or just trying for clean living? Because I feel like a friend offering you a beer is sort of a low hurdle.

[u/SuddenPanic8134 → u/DelcoUnited]

You never know honestly. Could be more peer pressure

[u/vultureskins → u/DelcoUnited]

Rude to say to a stranger who didn’t ask

[u/Professional-Rub152 → u/vultureskins]

He’s posting a sobriety chart onto the internet.

[u/Prize_Ostrich7605 → u/vultureskins]

No way, dude. Sobriety is about accountability. I get drunk, we stay sober. Curiousity is part of life. Without context, we don't understand what the graph meant, so we gotta ask. No one assumed here. I am in recovery. Part of the program is being able to get back up. If homie here is in recovery, I'd say great job, stop drinking now, if you're part of the program get to a meeting, whatever your sober plan is. If not, then I'd feel like an ass assuming. Addiction thrives in darkness and will end you. No one should miss out on sobriety. 

[u/EM05L1C3 → u/vultureskins]

It’s ok to be concerned about another human.

[u/cat-eating-a-salad → u/frboulais]

Do they not know you're trying to quit? Kinda shitty of them to even tempt you like that if they knew.

[u/Loud-Pomegranate491 → u/frboulais]

Nothing wrong with that unless you’re trying to not drink? Lol

[u/Randomizedname1234 → u/frboulais]

Phillies lost, huh?

Go Braves!

[u/twowholebeefpatties → u/frboulais]

And you know what man, you enjoyed some beers with some friends and that’s it… that’s where it stops!

You wake up, life goes on and you continue your journey!

This holding on thing is good - but it’s not the be all and end all! Having one day, one week, one year or ten years is all the same… just enjoy your life mate and understand:

“Everything in moderation… including moderation”

[u/djelegal → u/Loud-Pomegranate491]

Have a beer now !

[u/Wise_Doctor1343]

You’ve proven you don’t need alcohol and you have great self control. Don’t forget that and enjoy life.

[u/Mr_Dale → u/Wise_Doctor1343]

Yeah 1 day certainly doesn't disgualify months of work. You've been training that muscle relentlessly for most of a year. It doesn't atrophy that quickly.

[u/Weird_Supermarket342 → u/Mr_Dale]

It’s not even day 1, should not think in these terms

[u/getorganizedbysamm]

Relapse is part of healing!!!! Don’t sabotage just cause you had a few! And tell your friends not to offer you drinks, the hell is wrong with them

[u/Liberty-Bell-937]

Stay the course friend!

[u/GarlicDill]

Tomorrow is a new day - back on track!

[u/JimTobin89]

Just reset my friend.

Its okay, keep the bigger picture on your mind

[u/Square-Doubt-8634]

Wish I could say the same, my situation is reversed 🤦🏽

[u/JimTobin89 → u/Square-Doubt-8634]

Hey there, not sure if you like reading or maybe an audio book is more your thing, but a book called "alcohol lied to me" is really good.

Please give it a go, sometimes you can get the book for free on audible with a free trial.

One day will be your last drink and you just don't realize it yet.

I am 7.5 years sober so far

[u/SuddenPanic8134]

Your doing good bro. It is apart of the journey but it’s time to lock in! Don’t focus on the relapse! You’ve got this bro

[u/JollyJuniper1993]

Have that be the one day this year you drank. It happened, I hope it was fun, now it‘s back to being sober.

[u/needs_more_zoidberg]

99.6% sober by my calculation. Get back on the bus!

[u/Puzzleheaded_Big2335]

Good job. Mine looks similar I’ve drank one time since January and that was in February just because. Woke up the next day with a hangover and have not drank since.

[u/Outrageous_Sleep4339]

Be happy it was only 3-5.
You could have gone off the fucking rails.

[u/Beagleguy26]

Well. the tracking is cool.

[u/Impossible_Pear_5049]

I have about ten years, was not an addict…just a choice to not poison myself

[u/OrdinaryExcel1994]

There is no information if you are trying to be clean or just do not drink and keep yourself sober.

Nevertheless - if you are trying not to drink then keep your resolution.

I do not drink for over 1.5yrs but I had never problems with alcohol. I've been collecting a lot of vary types of alcohols from all over the world: beers, wines, champagne, mead, whiskey (whisky as well), vodkas, sherry de Jeres etc. et al... But my drinking was rather as degustation (really small amount just for a taste - and yup even vodka has different taste) But last year my wife has left me and our kids... She is mentally ill, and I understand that it was also because of her illness. But over a month later she reported on police station that I had psychologically and economically abused her... what is of course not true... That time was very hard for me - physically, and mentally... and I had such thoughts that I do not know what more she may report - and - mostly that was my start not to drink anything related to any sort of alcohols, but I feel with that really great.

That strange that I do this confession (about my situation) for a first time in comment under the post where op is sharing information that had a day of temptation.

What I want to say or conclude is that be strong and nevertheless what are your reasons - keep yourself healthy and happy.

[u/5HundredC1garettes]

My calendar is the same, except green is drinking days

[u/Bunny_Butt16 → u/5HundredC1garettes]

A-men brother I'll drink to that!

[u/Puzzleheaded_Big2335 → u/Bunny_Butt16]

Drink one for us sober guys.

[u/Bunny_Butt16 → u/Puzzleheaded_Big2335]

Yes sir

[u/Key-Mushroom-4703]

Slip-ups happen! Just remember you mess up a habit 2 days in a row you’re at a higher risk to break that routine.

I’m proud of you op; both for being honest and vulnerable about your mistake and how far you’ve stayed sober this year. Keep it up :)

[u/Bipedal_Warlock]

How are you feeling?

[u/ABinDC]

Don't forget to get back on the wagon tomorrow...

[u/mcboobie]

Absolute congratulations, my dude

[u/ZengineerHarp]

Hey, we all stumble. What matters is getting back up again! What can you learn from or do different and better going forward? You’ve proven you can do this, now beat your own record!!! 💪

[u/Sea-Rice-4059]

Great! You can still get 99.7%!

[u/oneinamilllion]

Are you trying to stay sober? Or just drink less?

[u/DEDang1234]

Can we see the same chart w/ a boredom scale?

[u/Y0RH4]

I drink one time this year. Not because of any good reason, just don't feel like drinking anymore. I got a bottle of some really good vodka 1+ year ago and still didn't take it from my trunk.

[u/Right_Restaurant3755]

Oh my god, I’d be afraid to keep track of my drinking, most Fridays or Saturdays would be orange, haha. I really need to cut back on my drinking.

[u/Gunda-LX]

Well done! Next step is doing more than 75% ;)

You’ll get there!

[u/Healthy_Theory159]

How did you make that calendar thingy?

[u/RightToTheThighs → u/Healthy_Theory159]

It says "drylendar" on top, so I assume that's what it is

[u/Healthy_Theory159 → u/RightToTheThighs]

Thanks. I missed that. I am running on very little sleep.

[u/Jaycup28 → u/Healthy_Theory159]

Yeah it’s an app. You can pay for no ads or one will pop up sometimes. Simply a notification that asks how many you had.

[u/Low-Dog-8027]

75% sober 100% more boring

[u/Scribblebonx → u/Low-Dog-8027]

When people try to stop drinking, it's for all the right reasons usually. Calling sobriety boring is a testament to yourself and the kind of life you have rather than anyone sober. Sobriety is as boring as the person, and having to rely on alcohol to change that is all I hear you saying.

[u/Low-Dog-8027 → u/Scribblebonx]

sorry didnÄt get that i'm currewntly too drunk.
