“Accidents Can Happen” by Sixx AM
Anyone who has ever relapsed (which is pretty much everyone) needs to listen to this song at least once. It sums up not giving up after a relapse in such a perfect way.
“You know that accidents can happen, and it’s okay
We all fall off the waggon sometimes
It’s not your whole life, it’s only one day
You haven’t thrown everything away”
Even just the chorus is perfect. I barely made it two days and I have to reset my timer today. It’s so frustrating because a month ago I made it almost 3 weeks, now I’m struggling with a few days. But I can’t let myself give in to the mindset of “I already f-d up, what’s the point now”, I’ve just got to try a little harder tomorrow.

Great song. Thanks. A little somber but dead on.
It made me think. I feel that one thing I think we all need to work on is to not dwell on our imperfections and weaknesses. We have to start looking at how we have decided to take a new path.
Learn to love yourself. Love it all. Be happy. Change your focus on the good. “Where the mind goes, the body follows.”
We are all going to screw up. Maybe it happens two days after you promised yourself you would never do it again. Oh well. It’s two days longer than you made it before. Now go out and beat two days. Set new goals. Goals that surpass the last one. It’s like lifting weights. Maybe one more repetition or 5 more poinds than last time.
Focus on your small positive steps. Success doesn’t always happen over night. It happens when we learn ENDURANCE.
We are all awesome. And we are loved. Now we need to learn to love ourselves and the new (extremely tough) path we’ve choose.
Remember…THERE IS NO VICTORY IN “EASY.”
God Bless You All. Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving.
