This is why 100% committment to sobriety is the only way to make it work. Sorry to hear that you relapsed, but do you have a plan to keep it from happening again? I used to live in a very small town myself so I understand the mentality, but there are other people and other things to do than drink at bars or other people's houses. You just have to seek them out.
