I messed up, I hate myself rn

I messed up. I drank a beer. I feel so guilty. I put myself around my mom and her husband who stay drunk. I feel so guilty :weary::pleading_face:

You acknowledged it and know that it wasn’t a decision that aligned with who you are. Tomorrow is a new day. Start again. You have the strength in you. Don’t beat yourself up over it.

Don’t be around those people. You gotta be ruthlessly selfish in your recovery. At least until you know you can be around it without being tempted. Tell those people it’s nothing personal against them, you just can’t be around it right now. At all. That’s what I would do at least. That’s actually what I did do. And my friends & family understood. We stayed in touch and after a while I was able to be around it without even thinking of taking a drink. It’s a slow process. Easy does it. Keep it simple. One day at a time.

Do not hate yourself for it but take it as a lesson learned :hugs: So now you know and can act on it.
Learning from a relapse makes it worth something beside all of a bad thing.
So dust yourself off and put your energy in your recovery instead of the hating :wink:
You can do it, we are all here to support you in this! :heavy_heart_exclamation:

Like your fellows say here, don’t hate yourself for it, you are honest and true to yourself and you are not giving up! You are stronger than you think! Keep your head up :grinning:

You’ve come here and that’s a very good start. You’re early in your journey and you’re gonna get back what you put in. If you surround yourself with drunks, you’re most likely going to drink. If you surround yourself with soberiety you most likely will not. My advice is to let sobriety related people/content consume your time. You can do this. You deserve a sober, happy, healthy life. Best wishes.
