Did he relapse?
Today at the AA meeting a guy w 3 years sobriety broke down during the discussion.
He was under a ton of stress because he feels like he may have had a slip.
He was in Asia last month and he was eating in a local tent.
He said everyone was drinking, except for him. They were eating all sorts of local fish and filter feeders.
As the night drew to a close, the owner of the tent insisted he have a shot of strong liquor to kill the bacteria he may have just injested.
The owner said it was medicine like. The man said it made sense at the time.
He had the shot and called it a night. He said he felt a tiny buzz, but he didn't drink any more and hasn't had any since.
He wasn't sure if he should take a 24 hour chip or not.
The folks at AA said it wasn't a relapse or a slip. It was medical.
I agreed.
What do you all think?
