Honesty..how many relapsed after the first time they quit their DOC?

[worried878]

How many here have relapsed after their initial quitting of their DOC?  or any drug thay may have used thereafter..I used after my detox..stats say only 3% make it on the initial try...what r ur thoughts on this stat?  and did u relapse after ur initial  detox?  What advice can u give people who r just now trying to get clean?  How many used aftercare?  How many ept posting/if they were a poster at that time??

just curious as 3% sounded a bit low...i do think there r perhaps people out there who never relpased?  maybe not and this could ring true..I did not post this to be dismal/to be negative/just to show there r many who made it to cleandom who did relpase once or more...it is unusual to make it the first go around///and keeping on keeping on can pay off....always knowing in the back of ur head that this is going nowhere...that u were happier when u were clean/and realizing using fixes nothing..and that addiction can only get better by letting go
