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.

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.
