Does anyone view relapses as a gift or positive learning experience?

Listen, the withdrawls suck and the disappointment of going down that path again. I'm not a very shame based person but feel a desperation to get through the first week as my brain feels on fire. But every experience it seems to reinforce why my sobriety is so precious and how happy I am when I don't drink. It's honestly one of my problems with AA at times that it feels like loving in that shame cycle.

Like it almost ends up feeling like a positive thing because it becomes more cause for self reflection and it feels like it gets me one step closer to never again. I don't know it just feels all apart of the process. Just wanted to share and see if anyone felt the same?
