Prior Relapse
 
I was reading through my old posts from a few years back when I was almost 100 days sober and found this:

“I'm thinking of turning off SR for a bit. To be really honest, I'm sick of thinking and reading about substance abuse. It's becoming too much a part of my daily thoughts (not AV. I have no desire to drink anymore ) but thinking about recovery in general.”

Then no posts until 7 days ago. 18 months in between was drinking, only 6 was sober. I’m not leaving this time.

welcome back to SR! I did the same thing. It was my AV trying to get me away from the support so I could be free to drink.

Well, I'm glad you made it back.

This forum is really good for staying connected to recovery. I quit drinking four+ years ago, joined this site on Day Three, and haven't had a drink since. This is the only place I stay in contact with others in recovery and it's a powerful place.

I'm glad you're back lastchance. The same happened to me. I'm sticking very close to SR now.

I have felt the same way with similar results. I’ve been stalking the site again for a while now, but it’s time to really participate. I am so sick of this dance.

sounds like a good plan. Look forward to reading your posts.
