It is all a journey. Keep going and keep learning. Gain insight and go from there. It took me a long time of going back and forth. Just keep moving on and forward. It isn't about time away from something, as what you have gained in dealing with the stuff you may have been working through and coming to terms with that. Learn, but don't wash and repeat. Cheers.

I was on cruise control after 6-7 months. I also began a relationship with someone in early recovery. I knew better but I thought i thought I was strong enough to take the risk.

Be kind to yourself. This hit home-I was only sober 5 months before starting a relationship that led to slipping. I’m now at 14 days-longest I’ve been sober since 11/2019. Better to begin again than never again🙏

No doubt. It's humbling to discover you're not as far along in recovery as you assumed you were, but there's only way to go and that's forward.

Good morning, the good thing that I find about what I’m feeling is not giving up totally. At least you are talking about it. Like myself showing that we are aware of our wrong doing.
