[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it’s good to hear you are familiar with SMART Recovery (I am an Online Meeting Helper for several Facilitators) and the difference between a lapse, a one-time occurrence verses a relapse which is a sustained event.

In SMART there is an analogy used to describe the process of continuing your recovery:  say you are driving from NY to LA and your car breaks down in Dallas, TX.  Do you fix your flat, turn around, go back to NY and start driving again to LA?  Or do you fix your flat in TX and then keep on going to LA.  So, keep going!

Don’t beat yourself up, just keep going.

Thanks! I’m ignoring PP and focusing on what I have today. I had a lapse,  But it doesn’t have to turn into a full relapse. Thanks to facilitators like you :) [/quote]

It wasn't a one-off. You bought alcohol, you hid it, and you were drinking it. Your son caught you. You then went to DCUM  to be coddled. DCUM instead of checking in with one of your facilitators. DCUM with a cutesy little title coupled with an I suck soliloquy meant to garner empathy and to be told it's not a big deal. You did all this 1 week after in patient rehab.   You need to get real OP.[/quote]
