You can always come back. It won't be like completely starting over. Just take it in stride and fight the "F it... might as well" line of thinking.

Message me as needed.

I've relapsed multiple times over the years that I've been struggling with my drinking problem.

I'm not condoning it, but it's also not the end of the world. Treat it as a learning experience - what triggered the relapse, and what could you do differently the next time you feel the same way or in the same situation.

I also don't believe you've thrown away your previous sober time. You had it, so you obviously learned some coping skills, now's the time to strengthen them. Sure you've had a break in continuous sober time, if your counting, but you're not starting from the same place that you were in when you very first made the decision to stop.

Keep us posted on how you're doing.

Step One is where I finally gave up the fight against alcohol and whatever else and admitted I was totally powerless to stop my pain or anything else from ever again getting the best of me.

You will almost never hear about that level of "dropping the shovel" in today's AA, but there at a complete Step One is where permanent recovery from chronic alcoholism can truly begin.
