Sure Holli... Im just stating my personal view and experience. I kept drinking after this relapse because I denied to others that I was drinking so I could avoid them trying to get me to stop... Until that backfired. The backfiring is what made me say... I have to stop now! If I was left to myself, it is a toss up if i would be sober today or not. After a period of time, then I can do it for myself but this is all very personal depending on the alcoholic/addict
