I dropped the ball. Ive been using again for almost a week, if not more. Im so disappointed in myself. Nothing about it feels right and Im worried to death that people will find out. I needed to get the guilt of this relapse off my chest so I'm really glad I found this app. Tommorrow will be day one for me all over again. Please pray that I have the strength to get to day two.

Michelle, being honest with yourself is a huge part of sobriety.
We appreciate you're honesty. Don't worry anymore. You just outed yourself to us. Now we know. The cool part is that you just did a 5th step. You just admitted to yourself, God and another human being the exact nature of your wrongs.
Today starts a new day.

We can do this together 
stay strong. Today is also day one for me all over again. I relapsed yesterday after having 2 days sober. Pray every night for a good day the next day. That's what I did last night, because one prayer can change alot. Don't give up on yourself. It's good we feel guilty for the relapse. It shows we truly want this to be free from this addiction. If you need to talk I will be here for you. Have a wonderful day

As good as it is to tell on yourself on this app, I never was able to stay sober by hiding my drinking/using from those closest to me. “Secret binges/using” that nobody ever knew about kept me sick. Just my experience.

Try not to beat yourself up too much. Having a group or a meeting to go to has changed the game for me. I hope you are well.

Perseverance and growth will guide you through your journey. You are stronger than the grip of the things trying to control you, break free trust me life is going to be better all the way around without it , put that energy towards a goal / want / dream of yours and crush it . Small victory's have been a huge part of my journey and my path in sobriety

Hey, thanks for being honest with us. I have been there at the bottom of a glass, so to speak. No shame. Sometimes we fall, but we don't have to stay down. Hope you get the courage to be honest with those in your home base recovery group. We need to see people in recovery regularly to stay honest.
