Relapse is so very dangerous
I was at a meeting last nite and a man came in after relapsing having been 3 years sober. He had received 40 stitches from injuries to his arms and legs during a black out. He was a mess. I didnt know what to say to him to try to make him feel a little bit more human, but it certainly was a reminder of how relapse is a daily event in the lives of alcoholics and it is the next worst thing to death.
