Mate you have done the best thing coming on here and being open , please dont be ashamed relapses happen and we just have to learn from them and sometimes it takes that to finally get us on the the right path for good …for someone like me who is 379 days in recovery relapse is always a major worry because of my mental health , so thankyou for your share its touched me my friend :grin:

Get back on the horse my friend… Please. Ask your higher power to open the way for you to make the right decisions. Sending you prayers of strength and self forgiveness.

I think that it takes MAJOR inner strength to be honest with yourself and to reset your date… :100: I had to do that too once… PLEASE don’t ever forget how far that you have come… Not a single day that you made the right choices… Right now, not only is this a lesson to other’s but it’s where your true power comes from and that’s from learning from it… If we learn from it, we grow from it… :point_up::blush:

To me a relapse is an reaction… Alcohol, drugs etc are a poor solution to any problem… Things I had to think about when that happened to me was 1. WHAT CAUSED ME TO RELAPSE??? 2. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY TO ENSURE THAT I DON’T DO THIS AGAIN???

Hope that helps…

Relapse generates an awful wave of negative feelings. Learn from it. You have already started the sobriety again, so the relapse is in the past. This maybe a glass half full glass half empty thought, but you could not of relapsed without being sober first.

Hell no, I stopped following those folks to Mordor years ago, I’ve been on the path to Rivendell ever since!

If alcoholism is the one ring, I’ll never be cured, I’ve just learned not to put it on anymore and the burden gets lighter all the time

If I know anything about carrying the burden of addiction, it’s that even after you’ve thrown it away, you are forever changed. Just like Frodo, he could not go back to the life he once knew.

But all nerdness aside. I suggest that you look back on where your relapse really began. For most of us, a relapse begins days, weeks or even months before we picked up a drink.
