I can relate to that mom guilt. Its BRUTAL! But every day is a new day to make a fresh start. Try not to beat urself up too much bcuz all that does is feed our addiction. It wants us to feel like shit emotionally so that we keep using to numb that feeling out.

When i quit using drugs and alcohol, i had to get rid of all my paraphernalia, i had to block and delete dealers numbers, not have too much money on me at one time (so initally i spent most of it more beneficial things like stuff for the home, groceries, odds n ends etc), and i had to avoid my triggers (people, places, n things). I had to make it difficult to use.

What things have u tried so far to help u stop using? Nothing changes, if nothing changes :slight_smile:

Welcome to the community for sure!
And that is tough, I won’t lie, but I also want you to know that, the greatest part (as referenced from many members) you can pick back up and keep going.
Coming here and posting and acknowledging the relapse is something MOST of us did not do… I wish I had of back then.. but it is possible and it CAN be done! You got this! Just let me know if I can help you!
