"brush yourself off and get back up", splitimage. one day at a time. try to recall the reason for your action. they tell us we get stinkin' thinkin' long before we pick up the drink again. you can learn from this relapse by doing so. you were thinking about drinking before you picked up. did you speak up at a meeting about this? it's suggested, as you already know. "pride goeth before the fall."
your honesty helps too. jump back in with both feet. you may have drunk but all you've learned is still in you. glad your going back to meetings. keep us posted. we care.
