Is it wrong not to want to go to my recovery group as people are relapsing and i feel the need to focus on what i am doing.

Interesting… I just said a few minutes ago how I avoid relapse posts on here. It reminds me how easy it is to lose it all. I like to focus on the positive of my sobriety, I don’t always have the strength to deal with other peoples relapses. So yeah, I get where you are coming from.
Having a sober tribe is important. Having human connection is important. But that should be a positive experience. Don’t lose the connection to sober people around you, but maybe it’s time to find a different group? Or switch to online meetings for a few sessions before going back.

Thanks. I may do a zoom this weekend and see how i feel before next group meeting. I feel selfish though but need to look after myself. Doing a online course atm too which is very intense recommended by talking therapy so brain very overloaded.

Nothing wrong with following the path that you believe gives you the greatest chance of success. This is a time to be greedy for yourself and take care of your health.
There are definitely posts that I don’t engage with and some conversations that I avoid.
I applaud you for putting yourself first.

Nice share
Consider this, if no one comes back after Relapse, WE will never learn. Sometimes, correction, every time a person comes back AFTER Relapse,
That alone takes courage
