I agree with Lexie,
You are in a different place, you feel. I think we all had to have a go in a few different ways but when we got "IT", we knew. I do not agree that it should be expected that one relapses. People do, and God knows I was like a ping pong ball until I figured out that everyone was at the table except me! I have said, the man above would have had to physically appear at the off-license door and say "stop! my child" and walk me home.
This would be asking a lot. I then started taking on the hardship of the cravings and going a few rounds myself with the devil knowing I was getting the support from AA and my HP.
Relapse does happen and that is why people say it is part of recovery, but not necessary!
You keep up the good work and you will make it and be so happy.
