Welcome back Suzanne
8 years is amazing friend - you have not lost that time or all the tools you gathered during that time.

I am grateful that this app helped with your sobriety - stick with us - I’m sure the app can help you again (we got your back here) – great work on making that first step!

Hope to see you are around :people_hugging: :heart:

Hey Suzanne @GearHeadgeisha, you’re not alone in this… I relapsed after 3 years, took me a while to get back here, but I made it, and you can too. Sending hugs :hugs::sparkles::raised_hands::sparkling_heart:

You did it once and you can do it again!
I relapsed after 5 years sober and managed to get back at 5 years again with the help of this app and the people in it.
You know what to do! And maybe this time you have to add some more.
Make a list of things that helped you to get sober 8 years ago and add some new ones to try.
Be open minded and determinated.
You can do it!

29 days today,i smoked a lot of it,lent more money out,and when i fell on hard times,no one wanted to help me.
(Anyone reading this, do NOT give money to individuals,even family.
Give to charities, and churches,keep receipts amd get a tax break,dont be like me,go to therapy.)

The restraunt i was working at was toxic, and suddenly shut down,hard to get another job 6 loved ones died one after another just from last summer to fall,i had to give up my friends dog,who knew and loved me,and i lost it for a while.
I lost my car,but got a better job,closer to home.
I’ll be on this app more,im going to get back to saving, and paying my bills,me first,then ill help other’s.

That’s a great start! :facepunch:

Have you tried the daily check in thread yet? It’s a very active thread wich has helped me a lot to keep me accountable for my actions. You find it here if you are interested:

Feel free to join!
Like I said above in this thread a few months ago. I had a relapse too after a long stretch of years. All our knowledge about recovery isn’t gone after it, it’s still there! But we have to push ourselves over the treshold again and that’s hard. I know. But give it your all and it will work!
We believe in you! :facepunch:

Thank you,this last time was my idea,from the time he contacted me earlier in the week.
Going back to intake,
I messed up.
Its ok,then that month mark happens, and right back to it.
Thanks for your support everyone,i want to be done with this, once and for all,but i never will be.
Goodnight.
