My experience, and I didn't think this up, it was pointed out to me, that we alcoholics typically don't have problems handling crises-why would we, we're so used to creating them-it's when things are going well that we decide to crash and burn. You may or may not find it useful to acknowledge that nothing 'hit you', for whatever reason, you decided to give it another try.

Not being mean here, better you than me discovering that we're still alcoholics.

What's your recovery plan?
