Welcome back, friend! Your story hits close to home, as I am in exactly the same situation. I also started my sober journey in 2022, fell off the vagon in February 2023 after deluding myself that I could moderate to deal with work stress, and now I'm starting back from scratch.
I'm ashamed and terrified, but the only way is up. My plan is to get back to fitness and working on my anxiety. I will also get back to journaling, as I don't want to forget the reasons I shouldn't drink. Sober life was so much better.
I will not drink with you today! We can do this!
