I have been there several times over the years. Try not to let it get you down and don’t beat yourself up over it. Mistakes happen, just don’t give up. If you need a friend, don’t hesitate to send me a message. :v::sunglasses:

Glad to see you back and trying on day 1. Don’t let the relapse bring you down. Keep working on your sobriety.

Do you know what caused the relapse? Find ways to navigate that situation or person in a healthier way?

We can’t do this journey alone … Try and get to a meeting or stay active here for support.

Keep strong :muscle:

Day 2.5. I keep resetting mine. I’m a lost cause. But, one day at a time. Eventually it will click. And eventually we won’t touch our DOC ever again.

Thank you for keep working on yourself.
Have you checked with a doctor lately? Vitamin deficiencies play a large role in our moods. You may request some blood work to see where you are at.
Do know that if the urges at the beginning are rough but do not last forever. We can find a way to distract ourselves and stack on the days.
You may also discuss mood stabilizers with your doctor to see if they thing this may be necessary.

Just happy to see you here and trying. Reach out when the urges are strong - we are stronger together! :hugs:

Maybe you can get some help from a doctor to stabilize your mood for the initial days/weeks. So you don’t feel so compelled.
I’m not a doctor, and also not any sort of expert. But if there is a chemical imbalance, or low vitamins, having a little extra help could be beneficial :people_hugging::heart:
Also, congratulations on your clean time. :tada:

Edit to add: looks like @JazzyS and I were typing the same sort of message. :sweat_smile:
