is this a relapse?
today at work I had to use a magic marker to cover up the worn areas on the selves and the fumes kinda made me high. I am a alchoholic, was never really involved in other drugs. I am just a little worried that i relapsed. This might be a stupid question but I dont know. I tried to get hold of my sponsor and left a voice message with him but he hasnt called me back. I just want to make sure is all. oh the affects only lasted 5 or 10 minutes. I am fine now.

nope i wasnt intentially sniffing it, I had to do this touch up or whatever they call it. before tomorrow, the big wigs were coming in for a inspection and my boss wanted the selves touched up to look good. By the way I make a lousy painter.

Rest easy...it was not a relapse. It wasn't planned...you didn't continue sniffing once you realized the way it affected you...and, you tried to contact your sponsor for confirmation. When you couldn't, you did the next best thing and reached out to the folks at SR. You've done well...give yourself a little pat on the back!!!
yep I agree... definatley not a relapse. Great job on how you handled though....

No, you're cool, but good of you to report it. I once took a capful of Nyquil (alcohol 10%) AFTER reading the durn label. Spit it all right out as soon as I tasted it, but reported it anyway. No chip. No harm.
Have super day.

No relapse question is silly
Good morning cath,
Its absolutely not a stupid question. Its actually kind of cute. As a recovering addict/alcoholic, you can never be to careful. I never thought I would be forbidden to use mouthwash, but those are the rules. I now use alcohol free mouthwash. Have Wonderful Holidays!!!! AND STAY AWAY FROM THOSE MAGIC MARKERS!!!(HA HA)
