I'm alive. Had a slip. Coming back.

no such thing as a "slip"--just a conscious and calculated decision to relapse.
I've done it plenty of times myself--don't soften the reality or it will never change.
Glad you are back--what will you be doing differently this time?

Like the others asked - what is the plan this time, and how will it be different?
Whether you drank once, or longer (sorry, I can't remember when you last posted being sober), you have another chance. One thing I hear a lot that rings true is that a relapse starts well before the actual drink.
Glad you are here.

Happy you are back, unfortunately not everyone gets that chance. Hope you use this opportunity to think about what you can do different this time. Really hope that doesn't sound judgemental. It's just had someone from my homegroup pass away last week, so really shows how any relapse can be the end.

you know as well as anybody it's the same old song and dance until it isn't the same old song and dance. It's good you back, so many of us have drank again after wanting to quit for good. What are you going to do different this time?

This may come across as a bit harsh, but it is not. I agree with hawkeye, we must not soften the reality.
Sobriety is a life changing event in my opinion.
