Hi - Last night I had a big slip-up. I have been sober since 2004 and have rarely felt cravings for alcohol. This program has been a big help although I haven't ever made it thru the steps or been very steady on any step besides step 1. I had three large gulps of red wine last night. AT first I didn't understand why I would do this. Our family has gone thru something terribly awful this past year but I had stayed sober during the worst part of it which was over 6 months ago.

I realized late last night that I had several chocolate truffles last week that had alcohol in them. A very small amount but enough to prime me for more. Of course, I realized that I had to get my self back over to RR pronto. It is amazing to me how strong addiction can be at times. I had become completely unconcious when it came to my program. I wasn't even working on breakfast like I should be.

I DON'T want my sobriety compromised so breakfast was a protein shake with choco almond milk with a banana and a brown rice cake. I am here and I am humble and I ask for your support. Laura
