I relapsed because I got overconfident I had it beat,
and because in my heart I wasn't ready to accept never drinking again.
But when you do relapse, you realize you are right back where you started
in your addiction or even worse.
Stopping doesn't make any "improvement" so you do better when you start again--not for long anyway.
Best plan is quit for good and build a sober life in recovery.
Then it doesn't matter--alcohol is not even part of the equation.
