I don't know that there are. Maybe people go back because they want to answer that question, or the "positives" are just temptation to go back taking the form of an illusion. The people I know who go back usually don't want to keep in contact with anyone in AA, so I can't really ask them. The few I do still speak to don't talk about any "positives of going back," they just couldn't take being sober. Maybe they just continued drinking because they are addicted, and anything else is just a BS excuse. For me, if I try and think of why I need to go back drinking, addiction is the only reason why. Every other reason seems like a lie. I would hate to relapse only to realize that I was in denial and believed my own bull$hit to justify why I did it.
