The thing I wanted to tell my family and friends and celebrate my one year...NOW I am utterly afraid to tell anyone...do I need to tell anyone? Also, I just feel like I let everyone down...this year in therapy I worked hard..intensive therapy...but now I just feel guilt and remorse...
Where do I go from here? I don't want to think about this relapse anymore but it's all I have been thinking about...
I agree stress is definitely not something I do too well with...I may want to focus more on that..

11 months without a drink is a big accomplishment. Try not to beat yourself up to badly and continue doing what worked those 11 months and add on to it. It sounds like you have to find a way to cope with your stress. I always like to exercise for that. I think the 11 month mark is kinda tricky. I was kinda scared to reach that one year mark. Sometimes the fear of something different makes us kind of want to go back to old ways.
