I now have an infinite amount of tolerance for those who relapse.

I'll tell them to keep coming back 100% of the time.

I welcome them earnestly when they do come back.

And when they keep doing the same things over and over, and keep talking like they know everything, and they keep failing, I cannot help wonder if they'll ever get it - but I keep these thoughts to myself and I extend 100% encouragement. This is my interpretation of what Rufus's first post is all about - not ridicule or belittlement, but an honest curiousity of whether the continual relapser really truly 'sees' what they are doing.
