Congratulations for getting back.

I remember when I first started into recovery and coming out of a 30 day in-patient program sober for 30 days, I really thought I had it beat! I went to AA meetings everyday too and listened, after 6 months of continuous sobriety I drank again and it scared me. I got serious after that. Got a temp sponsor and started to work the 12 steps. I went on to get 10 years of sobriety, only to slip again for an agonizing 7 years! There is no defense against the first drink all we really have is today--I am presently sober 5 years again. I know I have another drunk in me, but I don't know if I have another recovery!!! I caused a lot of damage in those 7 years of drinking.
