Relapsed

I quit drinking and drugs late November 2025 then sadly returned to the bottle (did not return to hard drugs thank God) approximately 5 months afterwards April 2026. I figured since I went 5 months that I had learned my lesson and could control myself and holy shit was I wrong. Fell into the same trap again once I started I never finished until I was blacked out 80% of the time made an ass of myself in public and obviously had a few day ruining hangovers mixed in between. I decided that this was a setback and that I’m glad I caught that my behavior wasn’t fair to anyone especially myself. I’m hoping I can finish 2026 with a bang and not drink but with summer coming not drinking is easier said then done would love some advise I’ve tried the NA beers but I think it’s best I stay away from bars and drinking setting for awhile I know my social life will be effected by this but I need to do this and stop this cycle of non sense. Again would love some advice this is my 1st relapse and I’m so embarrassed depressed and anxious I know the first week sucks more than I’ve come to Reddit for advice before so thanks!
