My sobriety date was Sept. 4, 2009, and last Friday I slipped too. I found a bottle of MS Contin in my mothers room just sitting there, and proceeded to sniff 6 of them. SO I know how disappointing is feels to let yourself down like that. But I also know it comes with the territory, and anyone whos trying to live sober that says they have never relapsed is a liar. Good luck in the future, I have a feeling we will both need it.
Relapse is part of active addiction, not recovery. I have not "relapsed" since I got sober, and began a recovery program. The only time in my life that I was a "liar", was when I was still using.
It is absolutely possible not to use/drink/whatever again.. a lot of people attest to that accomplishment here every day.
