Congrats on your 60! 
Great job on hitting 60! We’re pretty much right in sync, Muzzy, as far as our date. I think when they say ‘relapse is a part of recovery,’ it means that in order to find long term sobriety you have to find a program that works for you. I’ve known people that have relapsed several times until they found their way, and some that found long term sobriety the very first attempt. The point is, you keep trying. That’s what matters, and the ONLY thing that matters. You WON’T get there if you don’t try. Kudos to you, friend! Sending virtual hugs. 
With you on that 
Right on. Keep it up.
Relapse is most DEF part of recovery for SOME. It doesn’t have to be… No. It takes a couple times to get there with certain people. Some people get it the first time… some don’t! Only thing that matters is that they get back up and fight even harder. They may have not hit their rock bottom. Anyone cheat on a diet!?? lol. Relapse! How about try and be celibate and can’t? Relapse! come on now…
i’m dead 
Get em babe!
