Struggling Help

Feeling hopeless. I had a drink last night, and now I had to restart my sobriety date. It’s hard doing this completely alone.

You are not alone. Find a meeting. We all know that feeling. Feelings don’t equal fact.

I did make it to a meeting this morning. Thank you!

Go to another if you need and give yourself some grace. This is a tough journey. Take it one step at a time. You got this

A sobriety date is just date. I wouldn't focus to much on that. Keep you head in TODAY cause that's all we got. Yesterday is a cashed check, tomorrow is an IOU, today is a GIFT that's why it's called the present :gift:. One day at a time :heart::pray:

Are you going to meetings? The fellowship you can find there can really help. At least it did for me. Just keep at it. I struggled for 10 years before I finally got it.

Please don't try this alone. There's no need. There is support in your local 12 Step meetings! Either in person or online. Thanks.

I think that’s the one thing I have a problem with. I see people let one day out of 10 thousand ruin them. That’s a goood percentage in my book. Be glad your alive and jump back on board. You got this.

I had 11 months going on one year , was really excited to celebrate my birthday at my aa meeting , had my whole life turned around , then a few weeks ago i thought i could have one at a dinner date , turned into a full blown binge that resulted in withdrawals , take the time u had and be proud of it , start over and be proud that you are willing to start over . You can do this

When I was in rehab last May, they took us to both AA and NA meetings. At NA they always did the “Just For Today” reading. That kind of stuck with me for some reason. I sometimes Google that to help me although I was never into narcotics. The organization is very real and helpful for many people. Even alcoholics. Just a thought but it is great that you went to a meeting and that you reached out here. KEEP UP THE GOID WORK!!

The sin is not in the falling, but the failure to rise. You’ll rise above this just  continue going to meetings and get connected so you can stay plugged in.  Stay strong, keep the faith.

For me it was impossible to do alone. I needed to reach out to friends and family because I needed support. If you have anyone to talk to you’ll feel much better after.

I understand how you feel. I had almost 9 months clean from drugs and relapsed. I am now 13 days clean and do a NA meeting daily. It keeps me focused. Don’t give up. You can do it!:heart::pray:
