fuck idk how to be okay, every time i try to recover from an addiction i guess that’s what you call it. i turn to something else during the process or after the process of getting clean of the last bad habit.
Well I’m going to upset the apple cart. If it was a complete accident and not your choice then no you have not broke your sobriety bc it wasn’t you that wanted it, I once ate a brandy liquiore it didn’t mean I was an alcoholic, I didn’t go out and buy another 50. Be more careful.
if you knew the edible would make you high though then that’s a different story and press your reset.

Hi Marie,
I’m in Perth too 
Only you know if you accidentally had edibles or not, I’ve never even seen them sold here but it’s been a long time since I had weed, and many years ago I did eat a marijuana muffin from a batch my ex had made, he was a chef so I had no clue until it hit me that they were his “special” batch.
Either way reading over your other posts you have said that you are doing well with eating and self harm which is great but from my own experience addictive behaviour can switch between substances or behaviours I’d we are not working why we do what we do. Have you tried any recovery programs? I know it’s hard at the moment but there is online meetings still happening and may be something to look into.

i’ve never gone to any meetings. i’m scared to let people know who i am.
If it’s something you would like to try don’t be scared, everyone that is there has had to attend their first meeting so knows how it feels and will be happy you got involved. I guess it depends what type of meeting you would relate to (eating, self harm, drug use, alcohol) all meetings are online at the moment but they all work using a 12 step program.
One of the traditions of an Anonymous Narcotics meeting is anonymity, I highly recommend attending one. This is the philosophy of the NA group where I meet:
Why are we here? Because there is no refuge, where to hide from ourselves. As long as the person does not confront the eyes and hearts of others, he will not find rest. the man who fears being known is escaping. you can never know yourself. nor meet others. he is alone. outside their common points. where else you can find yourself in the mirror is gathered here. Where people can after all. clearly manifest itself. no longer like the giant of his dream. nor like the Dwarf of his fears. but as a man. part of a whole with its contribution to offer to others. on this ground we can all take root and grow. no longer just for death. but now I live for ourselves and for others.
… I love that philosophy

i honestly just don’t know how to reach out, i’m so broken and lost atm
Accidentally? If that is true how did you react? Did you say “well, fuck it, I already had some I might as well finish it” or did you say “holy shit, I didn’t know! How do I get rid of the rest of this”.
Shit happens. If I ordered a virgin drink at a restaurant and got served alcohol I wouldn’t throw away my days but I sure as hell would get them to take away the remaining drink and probably demand an apology.
