Relapsed tonight. I don’t blame anyone. This is not a journey for the weak. I know I deserve better, I know I can do better.

- We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.
This was extremely difficult for me to understand!!!
I can’t do better, no matter how much I try! But there is one that has all power!
Once that sunk in and my attention was on the solution and the suggestions on how to receive that power, I haven’t looked back!!!
Get around those that have found the solution, get in the middle of the herd and stay there!
Only a suggestion from someone that has benefited from the process!

You are not alone in this! This is such a hard thing to do. I recently went through a relapse and I know it’s the worst feeling. Please reach out if you need to talk.

This is Connor’s somewhat insulting response to your issue.
Don’t worry so much about it. The main thing is to keep trying. Do yourself one kindness, the next time you’re in a situation when you desperately want to use, tell yourself NO just that one time.
Just one time.
When you tell yourself, I can do it. The next time it becomes easier time and so on, and so on, and so on etc. Coupled with affirmation, the seed of Empowerment will grow with inside you like the Oak from the acorn. Start 1 time, you’ll be surprised.

You can do better….. and you will!
Don’t trip. Figure out what you can do more or less of this next go. That’s how we learn and get wiser.
You do deserve better!
I've been there alot over 30 years currently sober but feel my addict plotting my next use
Instead of days and streaks why not just commit to being a better you and living a better life
Think the usage will subside as there will be no room for uses or binges with that mindset
Just a thought
Tomorrow needs you. Come back and tell us how you’re doing. Don’t be hard on yourself.

Brush yourself off get up and look at what happened, what you could have done just a little better, who's what's why's and make a good action plan and begin again.
there are lots of mtgs locally. I'd be happy to introduce you to several of my female friends. alone we can't. together we can. we can't do this alone
I feel you! I am beating myself up today but hoping to make friends on this app and find a different kind of support. It’s easy to give in to the same ol same ol. It’s like a way for me to unwind or connect with others. Keep showing up for yourself
