You owned it and you are still here. We all mess up but we all want better for ourselves. Keep working on it . As they say, “one day at a time .”

It’s alright, that’s the good thing about recovery you don’t have to drink tomorrow. Relapse is sometimes a part of recovery. You are in my thoughts and prayers

I relapsed after 15 years clean/sober. It’s been rough but I have managed to put together 9 months sober. Try and get back on track sooner than later. Biggest problem for me right now is my anxiety and humiliation over some things I did. Ego and pride are my enemies.

Hey Donna, a relapse does not define you. Please do not think you can get away with having an occasional drink. You can't. It will catch up to you. It did me and so many others. Not my quote but needs repeating "1 drink is too much 100 never enough " try reading the book Alcohol Explained by William Porter. It's easy to read and understand what alcoholic does to keep you addicted.
Again don't get down on yourself, learn from it. Now move on. Best of luck
