I’m sure there was some relief in getting it out there, even if it was on an anonymous forum.

People "adjusting their clean time" is a pretty regular occurrence in the NA/AA groups. The best ones are when they do it on their birthdays. Really even if you feel a lot of shame about what you did, people will be totally understanding. Also you are in the fortunate position of only losing 1 month of clean time by admitting it. Some people don’t admit to relapses they have many months or even years clean.

I say do it. The reaction will barely register compared to the guilt you’re probably feeling in living the deception.

I also think it’s good that you’re using this forum as the one place you can be honest first. It definitely plays that role for me.
