I had 20 days. Starting over. I am going to win this fight. I didnt get drunk, I didnt do something stupid. I just had and emotional few days and I drank. I dont get to have A glass of wine, but I did. And I just want you all to know, im not giving up. I talked to the Dr, im keeping myself honest that way. And I talked to my best friend. I want you to know that we are in this together. We will slip, but lean into your support. I made a mistake but I reached out, I communicated, just like I am right now. We all feel shame for some things we did. But there is NO SHAME, ZERO, NONE in recovery. Because recovery isnt a noun, it isnt a thing, it is an adjective, an action verb, that means things are always moving and changing and we just have to keep going. To anyone else who got some tough news today, had a bad week, made a mistake… dont give up. Hold on. Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it.
