Anattaboy , glad you are still with us. Experience tells me that relapse like this are a serious business. They indicate something wrong with our plan or our implementation.

It's easy to get the impression that alcoholics can have endless relapses and still keep coming back. In reality, no one can guarantee that. I've seen many people using the old revolving door routine over and over, and then they don't come back, because they are dead or korsokovs. Relapse is like Russian roulette, you never know which is the loaded drink.

None of this is intended to try and scare you sober, I know that won't work. But hopefully, when you look honestly at your own experience to date, something will prompt you to make some serious changes.

All the best. Like others here I have faith that you can make it.
