Yeah, by all means, it’s better to share than not for the sake of our recovery! No harm, no foul.

Sometimes I feel that it’s better to not comment. I’ve even gone as far as deleting and then retyping and deleting again. However, I’ve noticed when I do reach out or put a comment out there it helps someone at some point.

I’ve once had access to the graveyard. I could enter it through a notification saying a post of mine was put there. I regret not exploring it more before alerting the mods of the bug…

I understand what you mean - it can feel like a loaded term. Even if a relapse is a failure in terms of failing to maintain a sobriety streak past a certain point, like @VSue says, experiencing a failure doesn’t mean that the person is a failure.
As with everything it’s all semantics and what works for one may not work for another. It’s good to hear other perspectives if it helps us find the thing that works for us

Wow! That makes sense. Because that’s exactly what I’m working on. Toxic Shame; this feeling that I’m a worthless piece of junk; a failure. It’s a nasty, nasty root that seriously underminded all of my efforts to stop using.

Moving conversation here as it doesn’t feel like a tough love kind of thing 
I do think it’s important to be able to accept when things haven’t gone to plan, whether or not you call it a failure. Being able to reframe that kind of thing is part of what, for me, helps to break down some of that toxic shame.
I am human. I don’t always make the right calls or act in the ways I might want to, same as everyone else. What I can do is forgive myself for my actions, try and understand them and see if there are things I can do to help me make different choices in future. But I can only do that if I accept the mistakes I make, and believe that I am worthy of forgiveness, compassion etc.
That’s the tricky bit!

Trains have their roots in wagonways, which used railway tracks and were powered by horses or pulled by cables. Following the invention of the steam locomotive in the United Kingdom in the early 1800s, trains rapidly spread around the world, allowing freight and passengers to move over land faster and cheaper than ever possible before. Rapid transit and trams were first built in the late 1800s to transport large numbers of people in and around cities. In the mid–20th century, diesel and electric locomotives replaced steam as the means of motive power. Following the development of more flexible cars and faster airplanes, trains declined in importance and market share, and many train lines were abandoned. The spread of buses led to the closure of many rapid transit and tram systems during this time as well. Since the 1970s, governments, environmentalists, and train advocates have promoted increased use of trains due to their greater fuel efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to other modes of land transport. High-speed rail, first built in the 1960s, has proven competitive with cars and planes over short to medium distances. Commuter rail has grown in importance since the 1970s as an alternative to congested highways and a means to promote development, as has light rail in the 21st century. Freight trains remain important for the transport of bulk commodities such as coal and grain, as well as being a means of reducing road traffic congestion by freight trucks.
While conventional trains operate on relatively flat tracks with two rails, a number of specialized trains exist which are significantly different in their mode of operation. Monorails operate on a single rail, while funiculars and rack railways are uniquely designed to traverse steep slopes. Experimental trains such as maglevs, which use magnetic levitation to float above a guideway, are under development in the 2020s and offer higher speeds than even the fastest conventional trains. Development of trains which use alternative fuels such as natural gas and hydrogen is another 21st century development.
