Hey,
(I was a 12 packer too). I also relapsed early in recovery (three times at 30 days). It happens. Hard to get on that horse again. My sponsor suggested (strongly) that I go get a new 24hr. chip at the biggest meeting in town each time. <---ACK.
But she never steered me wrong so why stop taking her suggestions at that point?
I did it. Some think it's humiliation. Not me, it was HUMBLING. I guess what I'm saying is - Relapses suck. However, they are humbling as long as you are willing to try, try, again and are honest with ALL the people who support you in the program you're in.
