This is a great starting off point. I encourage you to remember these current feelings in the future. However, presently we should work on something to shift focus from your current anxiety. I have a suggestion that may work. I’ll send it over in a message

Thank you for your honesty. I’m a chronic relapser . But I refuse to give up. I stay in prayer and keep trying. I’ve learned a lot about myself and emotions. What triggers are for me and when I exhibit risky behaviors. Each time I fall income back a little stronger . I need to find a sponsor badly. I know that would enforce my recovery. God bless you and please don’t go ve up ever.

Rooting for you man, you can do it! Try to keep busy somehow. Walking outside helps alot for my anxiety.

alcoholism is a progressive illness, that’s right your not weak or different, your ill and it will only ever get worse. Start taking actions that other long term sober people do. Get ready to hurt a bit in the short term and save yourself a life of agony in the long term. One day at a time.

I just restarted both my sober times today from crack cocaine and crystal meth. Had 93 days and 63 days respectively. I’m more than a little disappointed in myself right now but that has to be short lived. The depressiins and the negative mind set will only breed more relapses. I’m getting back on the horse!!

Try to use that frustration to get you through the day sober. Then try again the next day. It is really hard to create new habits. Take walks, take naps, feed your body good food and try to sit with that anxiety instead of drinking it away. You are worth the effort.
