Thanks for your post. That takes an incredible amount of courage to come out and come clean about what happened. As someone already mentioned, you did not lose your 10 years of sobriety. Look at the positives. You are holding your head high and getting on with your recovery. You are also touching the lives of others when they read your powerful post. The fact that you slipped, even with such a significant amount of time sober, is a true eye-opener to all of us that this disease doesn't rest until we die. In one breath that scares the hell out of me, but in the other I know if I can be mindful and live from moment to moment that I will be fine, so long as I never think "I've beaten this."

Thanks again for your post. Hold your head high and get back on the old wagon.
