Nothing. Not a thing.
Supposed to be giving up booze for Lent.
F*cked it up already.
Someone shoot me. Please.
Hey, just saw this now.
I wanted to say, don't beat yourself up too much about relapsing on booze for Lent.
I feel like Lent is more about breaking more ordinary types of bad habits, like overeating or sleeping in or something, and doesn't really apply to something like a chemical addiction.
I feel like to break something like that for Lent, would be a big ask.
And, you could also still say, well, you messed up once, but just dust yourself off and make another attempt at it. It might take a couple times, and you might not get a perfect 40 days, but you could use it to at least make a start in cutting back the drinking. Don't just say, "well, I'm not going to get a perfect 40, that's it, it's over, I give up, might as well just drink again".
Maybe it's less about getting the 40 days right, and more about really attempting to break the habit, to start to attack it, resist it, disrupt the flow of the habit - to use the season as momentum for breaking it. And with something like this, there's bound to be some pushback along the way.
