Lots of points to your post imo. Happy to see you. That’s one. A much more important one IMO is that you want to be sober. That’s why you’re here. That’s why you post. It’s only logical you are more disappointed in relapsing this time as this time you had a real plan.A real plan that broke down for now. So this hurts more. For sure. At the same time you can learn much more this time from what happened. You are thinking about it. You are working your sobriety. You’re a strong man. You’re a good man. With shortcomings. WTH doesn’t. Yes it hurts. Life fucking hurts at times. We learn and we go on. We adjust our plans and we go on. It’s good to see you Chris.

I tried doing this myself. Unfortunately I came to realize that I was going to live a long time, despite my best efforts to kill myself with drinking and drugging. Sometimes to get to that green grass you need to walk a few miles through some thorns. I don’t know, I guess I don’t have a great analogy. But early sobriety sucks. There’s no easy way through it. There is a great payoff at the end, but sometimes getting there seems like it takes more effort than it’s worth. I hope you don’t follow my path of struggling for years before realizing that sobriety is pretty much the only option, but it takes what it takes sometime.

I would think their would be alot of meetings in Belgium. It might take a few meetings to get use to it. I kind of had a negative attitude at my first meetings and then it grew on me and I enjoy it alot now.

Back on day 4. Was doing great and then let some sort of depression take hold of me… I didn’t acknowledge it or share it. I then drank one night to get away from that horrible low feeling. The only good that came from it was that the next day I was able to cry. Anyway… day 4 and counting.

Hi Chris, I’m happy to see you back on ts and back on your sober journey. I was hoping that you come back. I’m sorry, that you are having a tough time processing what happened and dealing with the disappointment. I hope you’re able to forgive yourself. It is easy to love oneself when you’re perfect (and to accept others love and care when you’re perfect too), but it’s hard to be imperfect and still love yourself and forgive yourself.
I hope you understand what I mean. I love reading here, but I always have a hard time to express my thoughts in English.

I’m happy you’re back. Keep going.

Welcome back Chris! Please stay around. It’s so hard in the beginning. All you can do is keep fighting. Hang in there! :hugs:

Yes, I got that once on a pic that was posted - link from Google Drive?
Not always wise to click the pic, but in this app it normally brings up image full size, no?

yeah but for some reason you became a partner on my Google photos account, no one else who clicked on the link did. I don’t know enough about phones but it seemed odd to me, obviously I didn’t know who Tony was either at the time. strange though.
