relapse was short-lived and I'm back on track

Some of you may have noticed that I relapsed last week, after more than 3 months. Well, that only lasted a day. So I'm once again reaching a week sober now.

If you acquire enough "tools" in recovery, I think it makes bouncing back much easier. That was my experience, at least.

My heart goes out to all of you who are struggling for sobriety.

I believe that was the case for me too.

that's exactly what I'm afraid of after I get out of detox/rehab. I'm glad to hear you've been able to recover from the relapse!
