Hello Friend!
For what it's worth - I relapse every day, and I have not had a drink since 2004. That is to say, I am a recovered alcoholic - drinking has no current symptom or manifest in my life. However, I struggle everyday with over-reliance on self, or more simply, my need to control.
Even when I have suffered a chemical lapse, I have come to see that I still had the time I was abstinent.
For me, I was good at quitting, I had lost of practice. It's the stay quit part that was problematic. The first year is filled with these type of lessons - that';s why it's a simple thing to recover, just not easy.
You did, in essence, a 10th Step on this lapse, so sounds like you are on the right path...
