I relapsed yesterday after going sober for 10 months. I feel like a total loser. Im so ashamed of myself. I really tried to stay clean and i was actually enjoying it. Some days were hard but mostly i managed. But i had so much stress piled up lately i just snapped. I am trying to start over. I hope i can make i work this time. Taking it on miute at a time.
Relapses are unhelpful and helpful reminders that this is a journey.
Back track. What was the FINAL straw
That’s the one thing you can ask yourself to do. One minute at a time. Don’t worry about tomorrow
Just one minute
Then …
Back at it. What were you doing in those 10 months to support your sobriety? Glad you joined us!
Dont know if were going to meetings but if you were not then maybe they will help you get a good foundation and network round you to help in times of need wish you well
Sorry you relapsed. Glad you checked in and are beginning again. The support is here for you.
And remember, the last 10 months are not lost.
I am still on track. Thank you for the support. I think the final straw was family related. I kept getting pressure from some close family. I have since learned to keep my distance and focus on my peace and growth. So far it seems to be working.
