They told me it wasn't how many times I fell, rather how many times I got up that counted. I've been there, starting over after many years of continuous recovery. It's hard, but the people were there for me. I can turn my back on the program, but the program has Never turned its back on me. Welcome Back!

It truly is, I always hate how I feel when I’m coming down the guilt is unbearableeeee it’s not worth it at all. And then the high just isn’t even enjoyable anymore, I’m more paranoid than anything that my hearts gonna stop :sob:

Thank you Al! Ur totally right! I try not to beat myself up about it bc stuff happens and sometimes we fall, but if actually listening to the doctors/support system has told me anything it’s that it’s all about your narrative. You believe what you tell yourself.

Hi Wendy! Thank you for being so encouraging! I’ve been in my bible heavily the last couple days, especially during the urges, it has been super grounding for me.

Girl I’m on book number three now, I’m biting THROUGH my nails trying to stay busy :sweat_smile::joy:

Thank you! I feel what’s hardest for me right now is the mental part. I know how easy it is to call my guy and go get what I need and proceed about my life without anyone knowing but then after I use/drink I struggle with the guilt of keeping secrets from those that matter the most + the damage it does to my body. It’s the back and forth that gets me honestly.

You got this!!! Fight it, it gets better. :slight_smile:

Hey, you're here. That's all that matters. It's a journey. Like Joseph said, we all fall.

If you fail to plan you plan to fail. The goal is not to fail. If you're not going to take your sobriety seriously you will continue to fail.
The Sobriety instruction manual clearly states that..

Rarely have we seen a person fail who has
thoroughly followed our path. Those who do not
recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands
rigorous honesty. Their chances are less than average. There are those, too, who suffer from grave emotional and mental disorders, but many of them do recover if they have the capacity to be honest.

So the question is are you ready to get honest with yourself.

Keep going! It sucks but sometimes we F up . But as long as u keep trying again , that is what matters. I believe in u!

One day at a time...you got this
