relapsed yesterday after 6 days of not drinking. I constantly am rationalizing the fact that "at least I’m not smoking meth anymore " so alchol shouldn’t be a big deal right? There’s a lot more to my story but I just wanted to vent a little cause I’m super disappointed in myself. Anyway, I hit the reset button and I’m hoping to make it to 7.
Keep on fighting! We can do it!
@Kimmie138 Hey Kimmie, its a tough ride but your’re making good choices. Baby steps and i think it gets easier. You can do this
Thank you all for the encouragement. I am grateful for this outlet!
@Kimmie138 I’m only 3 days sober of alcohol and I’ve been clean off of meth for almost 11 yrs. My mistake was I traded one addiction for another. Keep up the good fight, it takes time and patience.
I definitely feel the same. It’s good to know I’m not alone.
Its one hour, day at a time. Relapsing, as devastating and shameful as it feels, is a normal process of long term sobriety. Just keep trying.
I’ve relapsed at least a half a dosen times. The last one was for 5 months of daily drinking. Yup, the morning after is always full of guilt. One day at a time…
