Closing in on a year but struggling

I don’t know why but lately I have had the urge to drink more so then I’ve had since I decided to quit. It could be that social activities have increased with summer being here. A lot more events to attend that I find myself around drinking. So much good has come to me in the last 11 months. My marriage and relationships with my kids are exponentially better. I’m at a healthy weight for the 1st time in a decade. I’m physically stronger due to diet and exercise. I’m feeling mentally weaker though lately. I’m feeling stressed and honestly not feeling very social. I know I can make it a year. That’s not what I’m worried about. I’m feeling doubtful right now that I will be strong enough to make this permanent. It feels like it’s only a matter of time before I slip up. Hoping I can turn this negative thinking around. 🙏
