Quick journal check in for yesterday 8/2/2026

Yesterday was day 1 after a bad binge relapse session all night due to drinking and the hangover. I was hungover for most of the day, and I got urges to relapse again to force myself to feel better. I did not give in though and I managed to stick with the feelings and spend time with my wife, although it was just being slumped on the couch the whole day.

I count a win there though since I did not engage with the urge and let it pass. I understand alcohol consistently remains one of my biggest triggers along with stress and shame. I really need to cut out drinking.

Today is day 1 completed of no MO, and ongoing 15 days of no P (got close to resetting that during the binge that night, but thankfully didn’t go to actual P).
