Glad to find these forums and pages. When I have wanted to get and stay sober, I have avoided any alcohol-based medicines. Believe it or not with Listerine, I used to drink it when I ran out of true alc. beverages. I still have listerine, but I do not drink it. Even if you're gargling with it and accidentally ingest it, that does not mean you've/I've relapsed. Relapse is intentionally drinking and using to get a buzz or high. OF course, that's recoveryism talk right there. BTW, thanks TU for all of the links to RR and this forum.
