I know how that feels… relapse… starting over…
sometimes I would describing getting sober after a long period of drinking like swimming/floating around under water Submerged in barely consciousness , or sinking in deep oceans … because it does feel like you’re sinking …
And then emerging, crawling on the shore,drenched in water and all your Clothes are heavy. Your muscles are weak and need adjusting
But if all you can do right now is crawl, further and further away from the water
That’s amazing… it’s 1 day at a time
You will get on all fours
You’ll on your knees
You’ll get on ur feet
You’ll walk again
And you’ll have the strength to sprint again one day
Used to tell myself, It doesn’t matter how slow i go, time is on my side.
As long as I’m fighting upward
Thanks growing stronger emotionally physically and mentally daily. I m digging deep and getting it down but learning from past experience it has to be done with gentle care and patience, reminder to self the world doesn’t have to work on my timescale and what suits me meaning the ego has to go. X

Hey emma, been followin youe story for the past few days. Congrats on day 3. Stay strong you can do this. Remember the more time that goes by the better you will feel. Opiate withdrawal sucks but not waking up sick everyday is a blessing. Good luck to you!
