Yes, we go back to that because that is our coping mechanism. Others may go back to risky sex, drug use or gambling or whatever.. But when we're in recovery from our addiction and we go off in the wrong direction and we end up back where we started, especially when we had been doing well, I think it is helpful to identify what we did or didn't do that caused us to regress back to our old ways. So it's not a question here of why we drink / we drink because we're alcoholics, it's what mistakes do we make in recovery that we are not successful.
