split image . it sounds like you are already on the way towards nipping this "little" (!) voice in the bud. being proactive with our sobriety is most important. i had a highly demanding, stressful job and at one point in fairly new sobriety-about 5 years sober- i found myself cutting back on meetings. my sponsor had told me that my sobriety must always come first in my life...even over family, job, etc. at that point i truly understood what she meant...i needed to keep my sobriety first reagardless of any life stuff. if i didn't attend meetings regularly, help the fellow sufferer, etc. i would lose my sobriety and thus the life i had gained. so i'm glad you "talked" your way "back to basics" and are going to meetings. i'm glad you trusted us enough to share this snafu with us. admitting we are slipping to "stinking thinking" and being honest about what's going on will help keep you sober.
one other thing i'd like to share...when i reached out to the newcomer and helped others it always reinforced my desire to stay sober.
i wish you well, fellow traveler, and will keep you in prayers. sounds like you are using what you have already learned. to you. pm if you want to chat.
