Relapse

Some people in our fellowship get really upset and disturbed when a friend goes back out to drink some more. I totally understand this. I've had friends go back out and I've always hated to see it. Some come back and some do not. When they come back we just welcome them back and tell them we missed them. Hopefully they will stick around long enough to learn that they have a choice, and hopefully they will choose sobriety, but we each must decide for ourselves to stay sober - no matter what someone else says or does. Recovery is a choice.
