Mmmm I know you want to get it off your chest but I'm not sure you need to shout it out to everyone if you don't want to. You have confessed it here and if you got a sponsor maybe let them know if you feel called to. I don't think there is right or wrong there in that. I would hope though that your AA friend would be nothing more than totally supportive and loving. When I relapased it took me a year to get back to AA and I found the same girl I had friended at my first attempt And she told me that I didn't fail and that it was just a part of my journey. Now let's not continue to repeat the cycle but accept it and move on. Good job on not giving up. Fight hard!
