Almost only counts sometimes

Made it almost 2 days. You know the old saying though, almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades… guess tomorrow is a new day to try again

Hang in there. Can you look back and see what triggered you to break your sobriety? If you made it one day, you can make it two days, and so on.
Support is important. Set a calendar alarm and check back here on a timely bases. The help you need for your sobriety can be found in the wisdom and experience of this community.

Thanks everyone, it does feel really cool having a place to even vent a little. Relying on friends and family is always an option. One I usually remember too late in the evening, with a few too many in my system and a panic attack warming up to bat, unfortunately. Tomorrow is a new day, and I might have slipped up today but at least made it a priority to eat.

Baby steps. Small, attainable goals. Keep coming back. Choosing this app feels like a step in the right direction.

I’m in the same boat as far as support goes (DOC is alcohol). There would be days that I didn’t eat cause I was too drunk. I’m 108 fully clothed and soaking wet lol.
This forum is my go to when I have no one else. My husband works 3rds and it can be hard sometimes. I just get on here and find support.

Congrats on taking the right step to eat, that’s very courageous of you!

By the way, I say that saying all the time! I usually struggle to get through day 4/5 so I get where you’re at!
