Change my thoughts
I relapsed sunday. I wish i knew why? I had over 5 months clean. Self sabotage? Lack of self love? Lack of self care? Adhd? Med change? All of they above? But im moving forward and making changes. Today im living in the present moment.
You relapsed because you’re human and made a mistake, it’s ok, you got this, everyone on here and in every community out there supports you and knows how it feels, keep your head up Tracey
Good for you we learn from our relapse and day by day get better you still have five months you never lose the time in recovery
Learn from it give yourself some grace and move forward and try something new
I think you might really know why - if you retrace your steps/thoughts earnestly and honestly you may be able to figure out what tripped you up - if not, remember alcohol (or drugs) is/are cunning, baffling, powerful!
I relapsed after 7.5 years. I’m back up to over 4 months and I use the relapse as a tool to help others. This too shall pass. You’ll get through it one day at a time.
