Right. If you were not actively engaged in your recovery then I could see how a relapse could happen. I think people relapse when they stop actively pursuing their recovery and they forget what got them into recovery in the first place. I do not think it happens by a little day dream. The first few months of sobriety are filled with thoughts about abstaining, thoughts about alcohol. This and that.....Monkey brain hopping all over the place. Sharing your fears and your strength and being honest is the best policy in my opinion. You are doing well. More thoughts will come, it is what you do with them that make the difference. You are doing well.
