So my family took me out this weekend. Got me got me some things since I haven’t been well last few days. I feel guilt and shame. I feel like I relapsed yet I didn’t.
Here’s to Day 5.

Way to stay strong. I find making a gratitude list really helpful when the guilt or shame creeps back in.
I’m rooting for you.

Today is a great day to lean into being alive. Full throttle joy. What a blessing. Glad you’re here for it.

Thanks mate. Doing good. Didnt spend anything. I see alot of things I want. I havent done bible study today because I didn’t sleep well so been napping off and on. I appreciate you checking in.

The guilt will come and go, but it will fade. Theres a reason sobriety functions in steps. Whether youre following the traditional steps or a variation that works best for you…its small steps at a time. Once i started my “ammends” step the guilt hit a little harder at first. But as i work through it and take accountability for my actions and my past self and reflect on the things i did…the more i see that I’m not that person anymore. I’m on day 313. I promise you it gets better.
