Look it has happened to the best of us just don't be down on yourself cause the stress from that will keep you down. We all know that the stress is the number 1 cause of addiction so now that you did a year why don't you show me 2 years this next time.

I had 12 years sober( still haven't touched alcohol) then 3 yrs ago for some dumb reason I started masking with drugs. But now I am back clean and sober only 63 days so far but I'm getting better everyday.

You are wiser and stronger now, it’s never a mistake and always a lesson, all you can do is not make the same mistakes again, restart that counter and let’s get you back on the road to recovery it makes a village, you are not alone in this journey 🫶:heartpulse:

The beauty about sobriety is that you get to try again one day at a time🙏🏼. Try a little harder this time in the rooms and to your higher power of your own understanding.

You didn't throw it ALL away, dear heart. You have all the growth you made during that year plus an extra dose of humility from stumbling. This next year will be even better than the last.
You got this. 
Hang in there ! Keep coming bacj
I’ve been there before too. Just learn from your mistakes that made you slip up!
Nothing is thrown away if the passion to be your best is still there. Don’t let that 
burn out. Much love and luck to ya!
Glad to hear Michael
You had many days ofsobriety. Don’t forget that.,. Just restart your program, throw away the guilt. Learn from this, move forward.
Yup I did that same thing it happens. Now I have 19 months! It took surrender over and over. We can do it one day at a time. I’m working a program and it has helped me understand it’s not a moral dilemma it’s a thinking problem. I have changed my thinking by doing gratitude everyday. Cause i will lose everything I am grateful for if I use. Going to meetings keeps my thinking in recovery ❤‍🩹 and reaching out when I struggle keeps me out of my head. Helping others gets me out of self. 
Just saw this and i knew i had to comment . I experienced relapse after some time as well. You did not throw away anything, you had a setback. There is so much to learn about ourselves after that for me unfortunately it was needed . Its humbling but nothing is lost or thrown away . I became so curious about what went wrong that it solidified my decision and changed my mindset in a way . Please be kind to yourself . You are already in the right path
