Recovery

Aaaaahhhh....did good for two
whole years two years that i God knows I tried to get on my own but couldnt. It took me having a son to find the strength in me to quit. Unfortunately yesterday my dad found a good amount of my DOC just lying around and thought it'd be a great idea to bring it in the house. Honestly I thought i was strong enough but that little voice inside "just a little wont hurt"

Thanks Mike. I will do my best to accept the mistake I made and bounce back stronger.

Relapsing is never easy as its harder for us with guilt, shame and pain because we know what its like to be clean. You are on the right path talking about it. Never give up on yourself as time is also never on our side. Stay strong and keep moving forward no matter what. In the end we are still human beings and far from perfect. You got this and evergthing will be ok. 1 day at a time!

Thank you Mitch. The moment I realized I messed up I searched for resources and support. It's different this time. I just want this to pass.

Time is never on our side.. At the beginning.. But the longer we go without using/drinking the more clear minded we will get and then time eventually slows down for us. Its always a rough storm to weather but in time the sun will shine again for all of us. Hang in there

Relapse they say happens before it happens

Yea I was beating myself up about it all night and this morning until I came to the realization that relapse is part of recovery. I am trying and will continue to do my best to conquer my demons.

That's my plan something I had never done before. I thought I could do it on my own. Thank you very much
