If you perceive these posts as reprimands, you haven't heard reprimands. If I told my sponsor I'd done what you did, and then went on to say it was "in a lighthearted manner" -- sheesh, reprimand is not the word.

When a person comes who's had a complete relapse, either a) they regret it and come back on their knees, or b) they're still in it & there's not much to be said to them until they're out of the relapse.

You're a little different because you're teetering on the edge, imo. & you seem to think you're in control. Having thought the same about myself, I tend to doubt that your control will hold out for long.

So I'm afraid for your sake, because & tho you don't seem to be sufficiently afraid for your own.
