Scott: yup and yup to your last two posts!
relapse is doing what you committed no to (insert substance, behavior here).
one thing that has made me furious about the conversation (im speaking of convo. at large, in the recovery community) is the way it gets twisted. a proper warning that one use may lead to more has been high-jacked by some as an excuse for benders. i realize this type of thing can happen, but it is not a definite result.
if this ever happens to me, i will attempt to do damage control ASAP. like with EVERY sip!
also, i will activate my support network immediately. i have made this a promise.-just like the original one.
