It must be incredibly tough for you. I can't say for myself since I don't know how you feel when you're battling addiction. I do know the pressure of keeping your grades strong. I'm even going through the pressure myself. I have a 4.0 GPA while doing full time work through various internship not to mention heaps of responsibility as a council member in a professional real estate organization. So I have 0 social life and weekends is spent doing work while the week is back to back between work school and meetings/conferences. Having all this can lead to a burn out and really kill you when you're in that period so if I were an addict I could totally see myself reverting. I'm not a professional counselor but maybe what I would do since this semester is half way through is push it out for the last semester and take the inter session off to disconnect. But I'd Sa do something positive and productive in that time off.
Also try to disconnect the people weighing you down. I've given up popularity amongst friends. Although many of them are fun and cool people, they are irresponsible in their life and provide me no long term value. So I've been fairly strict and cold hearted approach when it comes to friends. If they are not useful, I don't care about them and cut them from my life. You should do the same.
Edit: i didn't read everything but at the end it seems like you're taking measurable actions to mitigate your weaknesses and distance yourself from the environment.
It's more important in my opinion that you are showing initiative to solve an issue than the problem you're having with relapse.
We all have downfalls, we are only human. It's how we respond to downfalls that makes us great. Whether we succumb to our failures or rise from the depths.
Great job in taking actions. I'm proud of you; I hope you well. Good luck

15 months? And achieved all those things whiles being sober? Never give up, no matter how tough it is. You're a fighter dude and clearly all that showed you weren't going to settle for less.
"We all have downfalls, we are only human. It's how we respond to downfalls that makes us great. Whether we succumb to our failures or rise from the depths. "
^ Thats all up to you pal, but if you ever end up feeling that there isnt any hope or self respect left, your 15 months being sober and the things you did during that time completely says otherwise.

You kept it away from your brother or anyone who could help you or make you stop, and you knew that while it could help you on the exam you would relapse as well, you seen this too many times to deny it, quiting truly is just a choice and nothing else, I'm guessing you won't quit now or in the next few years tbh

This post makes me sad, sorry you can't kick it completely, I could never stop drinking though. So I get it.
Life without whisky isn't worth living.

I'll let you in on a secret:
Relapses happen, you can still go back to sobriety and it will count as being clean. Promise!
(The justification for this is that your brain will restore quicker because you have obviously made changes to your socio-physical routine in the 15 months you were sober)

| No substance addictions since, well... ever. Not to boast, I just literally cannot imagine what you are going through. I hope you can pick up where you left off before your relapse.
