hey sled chick, glad you posted. i was wondering how things were going for you. when i got clean and sober one of the first things i was taught was to avoid "people, places and things"...what this means is people: to not get into a tight situation with people that still use (you won't really be lonely), places: for me, to go to bars even for a soda, and things: to avoid situations that might lead me to a drink...like arguing and geting very angry, etc. things i used to do then i'd justify the drink in my mind, like i deserved it after all i just had been through.
it sounds like you have a lot of good things to experience when you go see your daughter. while good things in our lives will not keep us clean and sober it can be a motivator to be vigilant. my son wanted a sober mom so badly. he was my biggest supporter. of course, in reality, I had to be my biggest supporter but having him care meant so much to me.
there's an expression to use "what works' and your daughter can be one of those things. keep us posted and thanks for sharing this recent snafu. practice makes perfect and the only thing we have to do perfectly, those of us who are recovering addicts and alcoholics is not use/drink.
