I feel bad. I had almost a month with no alcohol. My father is going through some wicked life stuff right now and I had a couple beers with him last night. I didn’t get drunk or do anything stupid, but today I’m angry with myself 
Pick it where you left off 31 days with 30 AF. It’s a good place to be and just keep counting and don’t go back.

Yup. Keep coming back. Learn and move forward.
Yes, learn and move forward. Don't let the guilt drive your anxiety up the wall. Move forward.
Hi Madeline. Forgive yourself. The important part is learn and getting up.
To be honest: I don't think you were looking for a drink. It sounds like you were trying to connect with your father to help him cope with his dilemmas. Ask yourself: what other relaxing activities can I do with my dad and what coping mechanisms can we use? Do y'all fish, pray, use positive affirmations, etc.?
Yeah, we’re an Irish family. He is intelligent and a doctor, but alcohol is the only thing he’s uses to feel better or relate to others. It’s hard to explain. Thanks for reaching out to me.
It sounds like y'all are rather close. Introduce him to other things.
