The most disheartening part of relapse isn’t turning the number board back to zero, it isn’t the self-loathing, it’s the slow dilapidation of your hope in me. It’s the dwindling patience you have in me. Because there is a limit to what you can take, and I understand that. I can’t promise you to never drink again, but I can promise you that I will try my best to do better each time. And that has to be enough.

You have no reason to be so hard on yourself. The fact you want to keep trying is what's important. Just don't give up. Get right back on that horse! You got this. Have hope in yourself and your future.

I agree with you Levon. Relapse is what alcoholics do. I saw a billboard today showing a picture of Abraham Lincoln with four words on it saying, Failed, Failed, Failed, Succeeded.
