I was 69 days sober… thought I had everything under control then I slipped back in past habits and it only took a night to ruin what I was working towards. Decided to not let it keep me down so I’m back to day one.

You are both amazing for being able to stop on your own again, and keep trying. What was it that led to the relapse? What can you do next time to avoid that trigger? Learn from it and the relapse will become a positive thing. I didn’t, and it took me years of jails and institutions to finally give up and realize that using was going to kill me or take my freedom away from me.
I hope you are both doing 12 step meetings because IMHO that’s the most effective treatment we have for drug addiction/alcoholism, if you aren’t please give that a shot. Its what finally worked for me and I have almost 7 years clean.
I just wanted to share with you my opinion and my experience. I hope you are both well today.

Thank you Jacob that was very kind of you. Just my emotional state and not knowing what it was I was staying sober for that caused my slip up and it was positive in the end it got rid of people I didn’t need around and made me have to confront myself and see areas I still need work in/on internally

Cunning, baffling, and powerful is an understatement. Need to add patient to it also.
I was feeling really good too so I didn’t go to meetings as often. Didn’t call anyone. And then came my slip. A big ol slice of humble pie.
On day 3. Again. Hindsight is always 20/20. I finally and truly accepted that I am an alcoholic. My life is unmanageable with alcohol in it. I sobered up but wasn’t working on my recovery. Big difference when I got brutally honest with myself.
Take care of yourself. Realize you’re not alone and people do care.
