Hey Bree. You’ve gotten sober before, and you can do it again.

I know what you mean about feeling guilty and worthless. Someone once told me, “guilt is a useless emotion,” and I try to remind myself of that anytime I end up in that head space.

A relapse is nothing to be ashamed of. It says nothing about your character or who you are as a human being. It just means you were struggling and got off tracks.

Allow yourself to feel your feelings (even the crappy ones) then make a plan to move forward.
