Thanks for the warm welcome back…i hate the fact that I’m having to start over but I’m thankful for the fact that i found the strength to do so.

@Paul1 life changing because of the damage i not only caused to myself but what i caused on my family, especially my daughter.

@Melrm it was a nightmare of the realist kind

Regardless, you’re back and ready to fight for your sobriety again. You know better than anyone that you came to the right place. There’s SO many people here now.

@Rikk, I’ve seen a lot of your posts, and I have to say that I was impressed with how you’ve come out of so much pain. What a testimony you have. Wasn’t sure if we were ever going to hear from you again. I’m really excited that you came back. What an honor… Really. :mega::mega::mega::mega::mega::mega::mega::mega::mega::mega::mega::mega::mega::mega:

Hi @Rikk and welcome back here. I know it takes a lot of courage to do that. Hell, all of this takes a lot of courage. I see you had long stretches clean so anything is possible.

I would recommend spending some time studying relapse prevention and how to deal with cravings. Some good resources are in these posts:

Thanks again but i think its going to be a while before i have anything inspirational to say to anyone, think ill just sit on my hands and do some reading.
Right now I’m depressed, stressed and worried about just how bad i messed things up for my family…i blew the money we had saved up for our jeep payment and with that being our only vehicle we can’t afford to loose it but it seems like thats what’s going to happen.
Ive relapsed before but never to this extent… im beyond disappointed, embarrassed, and ashamed of myself.

That is rough, sorry to hear. Best is to stay focused on being clean and damage control.

I hear you @Rikk in the same boat. Hang in there buddy…

I’m sorry to hear you’ve been struggling, got nothing new but just wanted to repeat what everyone else has… keep fighting and keep moving forward. Little steps. Sometimes it’s all we can do :+1:t2: you can do this!

Welcome back, @Rikk. I’m glad to see you back, but not glad to hear that things are going so rough. I hope you can repair your relationships. I believe in you.

@Robin
Thanks, glad i have this place to call “home” and that I’m always welcome and accepted here.
The relationship is going ok… seems that being open and honest with a little bit of humility can go a long way when it comes to someone who loves unconditionally.

Hi @Rikk, I think we all have our “never again” moments, this sounds officially like yours. Bottle this moment so if any temptations come around you can pull the cork and smell the
Memories of regret, which is potent.
Love Magick btw, saw him on another post.
