Only made it 5 days and fell back in. The depression was so heavy that I chose to numb the pain. Layers of guilt and shame are a burden I can’t seem to shake. So tired of this!

Keep trying, I had 100s of relapses then 1 day something clicked. No one knows when the miracle happens but one thing is for certain, try something different because doing it the way you want to isn’t working.

I’ve been there. I barely joined but try to find something you enjoy in order to distract yourself. I find that helps me, because I feel better looking back at the time I spent doing something fun!

Yeah, I’m trying to get there. I was sober for years and then after 8 months of physical therapy from my motorcycle accident I relapsed and started self medicating to cope mentally and physically. My body is getting better but I’m still limited which leads me into depression and thinking about what I used to be able to do as well as numbing the pain.
