Hi Hexipuff,
I had multiple years sober and went back out and drank. The next day I had a choice of whether to end it there and minimize the damage or keep drinking. I kept drinking -- for 8 years -- and I very nearly did not make it back. Please nip this thing in the bud right now, it may end up saving your life.

I am back in control. Huge hugs and thanks to all of you - you are the best, you really are.
So what next. Well as you have said - dust myself down and move on. I am ready to face the world again. I have learnt from this mistake. Looking back over the last few weeks I think somewhere in my brain I was working up to this fall. I can't really explain it well but I feel like a huge pressure has been lifted from me and strangely I feel more positive to beat this addiction again.
Again thank you, thank you, thank you

Yeah, get rid of it, man. Above all, don't beat yourself up over it. Regret will only make you feel hopeless and put you in danger of spiraling out of control with it again. Chalk it up to an experiment gone wrong and get back on course.
