Fell off the wagon

Recovery
#1

My heart aches to type this. I had made one year sober the night my grandma died. One week later being Thursday, 2 days ago, I fell off the wagon. I drink and I drank a lot. I am hopping back onto the wagon. I am not proud of myself.

I made seven days. This past Thursday I fell off for two. I’m back on just like you. I’m just gonna keep on quitting. Keep on getting back up keep quitting again and again and again. Eventually I’ve got to get better at it and eventually, I’ll never have to do it again. Take it easy on yourself.

YESTERDAY TODAY AND TOMORROW
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry,
Two days which should be kept free of fear and apprehension.
One of these days is YESTERDAY, With its mistakes and cares, Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains.
YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back YESTERDAY.
We cannot undo a single act we performed;
We cannot erase a single word we said.
YESTERDAY is gone.
The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW
With its possible adversities, its burdens, its larger promise.
TOMORROW is also beyond our immediate control.
TOMORROW, the sun will rise,
Either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, But it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in TOMORROW
For it is as yet unborn.
This leaves only one day - TODAY.
Anyone can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities

  • YESTERDAY and TOMORROW - That we break down.
    It is not the experience of TODAY that drives us mad.
    It is remorse or bitterness for something which happened YESTERDAY
    And the dread of what TOMORROW may bring.
    Let us, therefore, live but ONE day at a time.

"Relapse is a part of recovery"...no good will come over thinking negatively about yourself (hard to do, I know!)...If you'd like you should check out The Addicted Mind podcast, they have a relapse recovery plan episode that is GREAT... You didn't lose your sober year/days, you hit a speed bump. You've got this :heart::muscle:

Just out of curiosity...was it a Radio Flyer Wagon?

To what "wagon" are you referring to?
