Unhappy Relapse? Post here.

I am a "chronic" relapser, after years sober. (3 days now-again-but I don't count anymore because every morning when I wake up is a new Day 1.)

Golly (there's a dated word!) if I can relapse after all I know and 100s+ AA meetings...well anyone can. My best friend killed himself after 5 years sobriety and every reason to live, because he took that fateful drink on Monday, fought through the week, called everyone he knew on Friday to say that he would be out of town, then on the next Monday morning, jumped from the 11th floor of his building, having drunken himself into a stupor. I still have that tape from his voicemail.

I think he could not face 1 more recovery. Goodness knows (substitute for G**) I DO NOT WANT TO BE HIM.

So, if you you relapse, please post here. It helps all of us. (Selfishly, help me!!).
