You’re NOT worthless, you’re an addict and that’s not your fault! Can you get to a meeting? Big hugs X

Get up and try again, don’t fall the same way twice. The first 10 days are the toughest, after you get there it’s only a mental game.

Be kind to yourself today. Fluids, rest, gentle TV. Then tomorrow make a solid plan to quit. If you have never read quit lit, buy one. If you have never been to a meeting, go to one. Many, many people suffer(ed) like you and plenty recover. It can be your future too.

You are definitely not worthless, that’s the addiction talking. I used to keep a diary and write down why I relapsed so I could try to avoid it in the future. It’s a learning game. The book “This Naked Mind” helped me in the beginning, I think I was finally able to do 30 days. The important thing is that you never give up.
