HI Everyone my name is Brandon im new here, Hope everyone’s well.
I went to my first rehab last year, was there for 5 months and i ran away went home and relapsed after 3 months.
I then went back to The same Rehab And my biggest problem was my Anger Behavior that led me to using, so they send me from the primary to tertiary rehab center, i was there 3months and 18 day’s, and went back home- me and the owners felt i was ready.
I Feel so bad and angry at myself today it feels like i disappointed my Higher Power myself and everyone that believes in me, relapsed yesterday after 5 months and 14 day’s And Not Sure What to Do.
If you have any advice please…

Hi Brandon. Welcome, this place is a great place to be. It’s filled with amazing people and good advice.
Unfortunately I don’t really have any advice for you. I’ve also relapsed a few times, Currently on day 14 sober since last time.
What I think could be a good idea to try is to find out why you want to stay sober and who you are doing it for.
If it’s for yourself and only for you that’s the best reason. For me it didn’t really work until that point.
Another thing to do is to identify your triggers ans the reasons or moments when you relapse. Find out why, or how you feel before it happens and try to work on that.
My best advice overall is, don’t give up. It’s going to work, you’ve already come this far you just need to find your way to do it.
I’m sure there’s more people here with better advice.

What are u angry about Brandon? What are u wanting to escape from? These are some of the questions to ask yourself…maybe write them down…u can be sent to rehab…advised to this and that but ultimately it is u and u only that can get sober or not…but it has to be your choice and its your responsibility to do that, i can tell you that i think u are worth getting sober for but do u? If its sobriety u want then stick around here daily if possible because we are all here to support u
