Hi Daniel. First off the fact that you had 2 years sober is a huge accomplishment. Take this relapse and learn from it. What was going on right before that first drink? Had you decreased the amount of time in meetings or working on the steps? Learn from this experience. If you're really done this time I think you know what to do. Don't beat yourself up though just get back on that wagon. Welcome back
Daniel,
Don't be so hard on yourself. You are a remarkable person. You achieved two years of sobriety andf lent your support to two suffering alcoholics. That speaks of great compassion and strength. You relapsed, yet didn't give up. That speaks of great tenacity. You reached out for support and demonstrated courage and honesty. You haven't let anyone down. You are just human with an incurable illness. Congratulate yourself on NOT giving up and lending your support to others.
