I fell off…

I fell of my wagon guys and I can’t seem to get back on. I can blame it on everything I’m going through but I honestly feel like I really didn’t try to resist.

I’m finding myself making excuses to go buy something we need just to grab a few shooters on the way out.

I really don’t want to go back to what I was. I’m afraid I might get stuck.

Hey friend – been a while and I’m sorry that you have relapsed.

The cycle is a scary one and it can keep us stuck if we let it. We are here for you - just make a plan (you can start from this very second) and then do whatever it takes to hold fast. WE will be here to support you. Maybe even try some recovery groups or meetings in real life to help you through with additional support.

Remember that alcohol has nothing of value to add and only leaves you feeling empty and sick. You don’t need that poison.

Sending you strength and love! Lets work on getting day one in the books :muscle: :hugs:

Thanks Jazzy. Idk what’s going on. But I’m going to try this again. I did it before and can do it again.

Hi Toka,

I am sorry that a relapse brought you back. I can only speak fo rmyself but hand on heart, coming here every morning helps to set my intentions for the day and I have 2 weeks today. I do gratitude, daily check in and the 100 day challenge EVERY morning. Every evening I do an online AA/ NA/ She recovers, whatever it is that suits me at the time I can make it meeting and that keeps me sober until morning.

I just know we can’t make it on our own. I can’t promise I will never drink again but I can promise that I won’t drink today IF I stick to the plan. I am rooting for you that you can make this your day 1.

I see your last post was 5 months ago. STICK WITH THE WINNERS. Next time make this the first place you go to not the last.
I wish you well on your journey :slightly_smiling_face:

Very true. I am going to do this again. I know I can. I went two years before my first relapse.

I’m glad you made it back. I keep hearing it keeps getting harder and harder to make it back.

Go to a meeting and be around people that understand. Just listen to them. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.

We have so much to be grateful for when we are sober.
:pray::heart:

Good for you for taking accountability. Keep it up. I agree with the comment below by Sticky. You have already taken a giant step for your recovery. I dont think a relapse means you are not still in recovery. I just heard a podcast that the speaker said relapses can be knowledge towards your sobriety. I think that’s so true and really identified with that.
I have been listening to podcasts recently. It has been helping me deal with some issues going on with me recently. here’s the podcast below that I am referring to JIC you wanna check it out.

This works for me.
