Get into a meeting ASAP.
You may need to ask yourself what happened recently and how you get deal with it without drinking.
Hey Cindy, I feel that. Sometimes we can get complacent in long term sobriety. It’s easy to forget what it was like the further we get away from that last drink or drug. The further we get from those initial consequences. Life got good- got better, maybe got boring, and maybe got really hard again and using seems like an easier way to cope. Can you identify what’s going on, or what is making you want to use now? what is making drinking or drugs look good? How can we walk through it together & come out sober on the other side? Do you have a sponsor or a sober friend who can hold you accountable? Do you meditate? Do you have a relationship with a higher power? There’s a lot of ways to counteract those cravings. Thanks for letting us know where you stand, honesty is the first step towards recovery again 
Stay strong. Do whatever you need to do to not relapse. Talk to a friend and for sure think about all you could lose
