Hi Warrens,
Yes, it is always, always very sad when someone goes back to drinking/drugging. It's hard to watch and to look back and wonder, should I have known. We are a family here and it hurts to see people we care about in pain. But, above all, we have to take care of ourselves. I continue to reach out whenever I can and we all do that here. Try to learn something from observing the experience and to move forward yourself. Give what you can and take care of yourself. And pray that the members will return.
