Welcome Curious Catfish
In a matter of weeks you'll be a year sober.
to be honest if I believed this I'd probably still be drinking....
Absolutely I agree that this is not something to mercilessly beat ourselves up over, nor is it a return to the beginning - we do learn and change on our journey...
...but neither is it something to sweep under the carpet as if it never happened.
If something goes awry with our recovery we need to acknowledge and fix it surely?
