I'm glad it was a 'short lived' relapse. Very grateful you made it back.
It was amazing how fast my AV took over my thinking, and it is scary how I was in little ways planning a relapse for at least a week before without being completely concious of it.
This was one of the main reasons I stuck like glue to some close friends in AA and my sponsor. They would see me getting 'squirrely' long before I was ever aware of it and would 'yank my chain' and get me back into today.
King Alcohol would just sit and wait for me to get 'out of sorts' or 'stressed' over something and then would rear his ugly head. After all, I had used him for years to numb myself, and he figured he might get me back one more time. Thank HP for my AA friends that would see what was happening and literally drag me to meetings and coffee shops.
Glad you are back and going back to Step 1!
Love and hugs,
