I relapsed yesterday after having 102 days sobriety. I let the words and actions of my 29 year old daughter break my heart and chose to just forget sobriety and drink. I feel worthless, less than, defeated, ashamed, guilty, and angry (at myself).
Why??????? I have had continuous sobriety in the past (for 7+years). And now I get 3 months and have a day where i act like a jack wagon!!!
Well, you drank because you’re sick. But there are treatments of the spiritual variety that have helped millions of us to overcome this thing one day at a time. Yesterday is done. Nothing can erase it. But make good decisions today to set yourself up for success tomorrow.
You can do it. You can’t control your daughter or anyone else. You can only choose how you respond. And a good response in early sobriety is to go to meetings and immerse yourself in a program. I found relief in a 12 step program. It’s what I highly recommend, but it’s not the only way.
