Day 1 motivation

After a full month (longest streak) i am back to day 1. Im not dure what caused the slip up, however j have arranged my first counselling session for tomorrow and am feeling a bit more positive.

Any tips for a serial relapser? This was the last straw. For the sake of my marriage and family this has to be my last day 1.

Hey Alessia, only advice I can offer is what works for me. In the beginning do whatever it takes to not drink-- honesty about it all, treatment, meetings, sponsor, working with others like myself and then keep doing the work every day.
You truly do deserve to be happy, joyous and free from the obsession and the insanity.
Hugs to ya!

I feel for ya, and I hope your counseling session goes well. If this is truly the last straw, you have all the motivation you need. You’ll figure out the rest. And remember you’re not just doing this for your marriage and family, you’re doing this for yourself. Your well being comes first. Whatever it takes.
:pray:
