It’s the last time that you have to feel like this! Be kind to yourself, understand you’re on a journey and there are bumps in the road. You may have gotten a flat tire, but you’ve changed it and now are back on course.

Stay strong friend!

Welcome back. My advice is to work on your sobriety everyday, make it your biggest priority. Podcasts, meetings, this place, books, youtube. You deserve a sober, happy, healthy life :slightly_smiling_face:

Just a tip, take it as you will as everyone does different things with thier time. your profile says you joined in late 2019. It also says you have Read about 11 hours. Which is say 1.6 hours a year or less then 2 minutes per week as an average over that time. Do you put time into recovery in other ways? Groups, podcasts, literature ect.?

Some people spend hours here a day, lurking, reading and not nescesarily contributing or posting but like a sponge reading and taking in heaps. Others engage alot and help others and i strongly beleive that helps everyone soo much.

Others participate in programs like AA, SMART and so so on and are less active here though putting lot of time and effort into recovery

But the fundemental hard truth is, you only get out what you put in.

And my favourite one i heard recently.

You cant walk 10 miles into a forest and then turn around and exit it in 5.

I think the time i invest into my sobriety is equal to the time i would spend being drunk. It is my number 1 priority in life right now and i treat it as such. I have countless resets and always came back and always lurking, reading and absorbing information and tips through the amazing threads here.

Good luck. Kep fighting the good fight.
