Why not relapse?
After almost six years of sobriety I recently relapsed.
Why??
Why not??
Boredon...no, not really.
Fustration, stress, depression, maybe, but, not really.
I relapsed because I thought I could drink again.
I thought after that much time, and knowing the promises of sobriety that certainly, I could socially drink, on certain occasions.
Maybe I just tried to convince myself, once again that I am not an alkie. Maybe I had to struggle thru detox and its physical h#ll ravage my body and soul.
Maybe I didn't keep some form of balance in my life while facing stress.
I could write an essay of excuses.
The truth is, I relapsed because I drank.
I always need to remember the reason I can't drink...I am an alcoholic.
