I got to 25 days and i fked it up

I got to 25 days and i fked it up. I don’t know why i did it. I guess the urge was just so strong and there was this feeling of anxiety and panic if i couldn’t drink that night. At first i couldn’t find my id, then i found it. Then i couldn’t find my debit card and remembered i had given it to somebody. But i just used another card, no amount of karmic signs could stop me that night. Now i feel stupid and ashamed. I had so many numbers i could have reached out to but i didn’t. Learning curve.

Unfortunately relapses happen , learn from it and move on , u can do it :slight_smile:

Do stuff different next time you're feeling funky. Get up, dust yourself up, and try again. Don't wallow in the guilt too long!

Consider it research like it talks about in the big book. Researching whether or not your an alcoholic.

Been there, done that.

Forgive yourself and start over.

It happens. Talking about it helps.
If you don't have one you might find a sponsor. I used to hate the idea of a sponsor, I didn't get it, I don't like "rules" but it's not like that. It's about talking to an experienced sober person every day to build a relationship and get help. I'd be nowhere without my sponsor.

Not many people are 1 chip wonders. It doesn’t matter how many times you mess up! Just recommit to your sobriety and start again. Every single relapse Ive learned something about myself. I started following lots of sober Instagram pages and reading sobriety literature and it really helps.
