Don't give up you were able to get to 14 days so maybe reevaluate your situation amd see what you can do different and get a support group someone you can call when times get tough and can help you through it Goodluck you got this

Hey Shawn, I’ve been there. Just have to dust yourself off and get back on the saddle. Try to remember where your headspace was before you slipped so you can be aware of it next time and do something different. You got this!

@shawn397600 What triggered the back side?

Why did you decide to get sober in the first place. I would imagine there are some disappointed people in your life. Alcoholics fool themselves into thinking that we only hurt ourselves. What did alcoholism do for you? I can guarantee nothing like what sobriety will do for you. The relapse starts way before you actually pick up. Not going to meetings, not calling your sponsor isolating are all signs. You need to make up your mind if you want to be sober or not.

Hey dude, it happens. That's why we take baby steps. So that when (not if, but when) we fall it doesn't hurt so much. It's also easier to get up from a short fall, and easier to make it up. You got this.

Thanks for the tough love. And yes it's family I have been hurting all these years. I want sobriety before I loose everything.

@shawn397600
One part about sobriety and getting sober is that we will have to change or remove or eliminate the people that are within our hula hoop or even the sandbox that we play in. There's a reason why we call it a sandbox cuz inside that sand is a bunch of hidden turds.
You got this my friend. I know you can do it. I believe in you and I have faith in you. Question is do you believe in yourself and you have faith in yourself that you can stay sober and start working on a program of recovery?.

It's okay to fall down but just pick yourself up and start again. You can do this :muscle:

#17

It's ok, just keep coming back, find you a home groop get a sponsor, do 90 meetings in 90 days you'll find your way keep praying and don't give up!🫂:raised_hands::sparkles:🫶

Hey there! Just remember you are never actually going back to day 1. Every day you were sober is a day no one can take from you!

#19

You can do it just one day at a time or minute by minute keep your head up

you know we learn from our mistakes you're always free to start again and I'm not recommending this but I have been to multiple rehabs and I now have 15 years for the second time so hang in there nobody is hopeless
