I think your user name is very appropriate... Recovery is a process, and you should follow your own initiative, in *your* time frame. While I don't agree with the saying "relapse is a part of recovery" (I don't think it's necessarily true), slips do happen. Don't be too harsh on yourself. Like Nandm said, you need to keep trying, it's nothing to be ashamed of - on the contrary, stating your struggles and doubts honestly is very brave of you.

And of course you should stay, we need you here Maybe you'll get some motivation to commit to sobriety, whether it's for 1 day, 30 days or a lifetime - there is no need to figure that out now. Also, in my experience, SR has a way of creeping up on you Why don't you tag along for the ride?

Take good care of yourself
