I am proud of your day 1. we have to start somewhere.
Gotta start somewhere! Proud of you!
Andy, don’t trip! We learn from our mistakes.
I asked myself the right questions.
- What could I have done more of or less of?
- Did I take my sobriety for granted?
- Did I let my addict ego take control?
As a chronic relapser for years and now 16+ years sober & grateful I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions
Let’s flip the script, starting with the words. When you say “throwing away,” it’s almost like you could never get it back or there wasn’t a lesson or lessons to be learned. I completely understand this because I relapsed after seven years. I had already built a business, was educated, had a great career, and thought I could have a glass of white wine because I didn’t want to be the only one that said no with a group of coworkers. I stayed in that lifestyle for 13 more years with so much loss and pain, I even hate thinking about it honestly. But everything I’ve been through has made me who I am and who I’m becoming, so you gotta take the not so great and turn it into something powerful. You got this!
