Not feeling good at all since 2 days. First day I am alone and without appointments since 3 weeks and I coudnât handle it so I went to smoke.
Tabarnac.
Dont forget though there is a difference between a lapse and a relapse. Also just because you had a lapse doesnt mean you lose your clean days. The last time I relapsed I had the thought process of âwell now I dont have any clean days so fuck it, whatâs the point?â And used for a few more months until I decided to stop again and then 2 months later I used once and got back on the next day because someone told me that just because I used doesnt mean I lost all my clean days I already had. I just wanted to pass that along because I had never thought of it that way and it helped me. Its discouraging having to start all the way from the beginning so thinking of it in that way, I feel makes it a little easier to keep going. Good luck. You got this.
âIf you fell down yesterday, stand up todayâ
Thatâs really good advice. I like it. One day at a time.
What R said! Make this a Hiccup! An a Hiccup only!! Donât Beat yourself up! Just get back on the Bus! Your Drivin!
Brush the dirt off and keep on.
I will say this though, in regards to starting over, and YMMV: I quit drinking because it became a problem for me. If I take one sip of alcohol tonight, then thatâs a reset in my eye. Back to Day 1.
Donât let it discourage you, just get through today, and worry about tomorrow tomorrow. The days will get easier, just stay focused.
Merci.
I needed that.
Nothing wrong with a reset! I had a year and a half with two different days that I decided to drink just once each time 3 weeks apart. Same thing as you stated I just couldnât handle it. Or so I thought⌠Now I am 2 months 25 days sober again. Everything that I learned from the first year and a half I still have. Now I have a even better view on my sobriety and God willing I will be at 90 days again soon! Keep at it! Stay strong and donât let our disease control you! You got this! No one but you cares about your sober date. Just remember one hour, one day at a time. Youâll be back to where you want to be!
Yeah. IâM the one driving. Gotta just control my vehicle!
Thank you.
I will get through this day and get back on track tomorrow.
You are right
No one cares but me about my reset. I just need to say to myself that itâs âun accident de parcoursâ like we say in french.
Thank you.
One day one is one day won
