First day of sobriety after a relapse.
I hate it here.

You're more than welcome to cash it all in and have your misery back. No one is holding you hostage.
However with this being your first day of sobriety I can relate. When I got sober 37+ years ago I hated it as well. So I get you.
I will tell you this... It gets better you just have to put forth the effort.
It really sucks on the first day of sobriety. But in the long run it’s worth being sober.
Relapse only exists when you can maintain a stretch of sobriety. You already know you can do it. Learn from the relapse and figure out what it was that led you to lapse, instead of letting it make you feel bad.
Great advice, Lance!
I'm guessing the "hated here" is a hungover today and how everything appears to be huge and impossible right now. Just TRY...really TRY...to shift your perspective so the huge and impossible get covered and labeled "for later." Then, go breathe outside.
