How does one keep going back to using once they get a taste of a better life being sober?

Not speaking for myself. I stayed sober for life(kids).

Thought I was doing well and had it all handled. It had been like a month and a half of recovery… I went on a date, showed up and he had already got me a shot of nice tequila, before I could even think or sit down it was down my throat, like I really dont know how it just happened… 48 hours later woke up in detox. Never drank again. I have 2 littles and they give me every reason no never drink again (even though sometimes I see the appeal).

I think it is a lack of positive coping skills, and a lack of support that makes people go back. That’s what it was for me the last time I relapsed.
