Had to reset my clock after 1 year of sobriety:(

Relapses
1

I’m not justifying my relapse but it really has been a rough time for me. My little sister commited a suicide in June and my depression came back. I have met a guy who’s sober 6years and I thought he’s a good choice but unfortunately he was just using me for money…I treated him how I wanted to be treated and got nothing back. I didn’t get the support needed after my sister died. I’ve lost way too much energy to make this relationship work and ended up overwhelmed and sad.
I just really hope I can start my journey again and forget the drinking episode.
Wish me luck :pray::heart_hands:

I am so sorry for your loss :pensive:. A year of sobriety is amazing (especially with all that you went through) and the time is not lost. You have the tools and the will and therefore I know you will get back in the sober track

Sending love and strength to you as you start your journey again. We are here with you my friend. Good to see you again :people_hugging::heart:
