I can think of a LOT of people who went back out in their fourth and fifth years.
I'm not even close to thinking I could 'go back' and handle drinking.
I never REALLY 'handled' it before - I only could 'handle' the consequences.
But the drinking itself - no.
Even when I only drank a couple of times a eyar - I'd drink until the bottle was gone.
SO I think it was a good reminder.
