I had 8 weeks last Friday and today I screwed

Trigger :warning:warning: I had 8 weeks last Friday and today I screwed myself over. I'm not sure I will ever get my life together. I've just been so depressed. I have one friend and she tried taking her life yesterday. So what did I do, I tried numbing myself instead of working through it. I'm so stupid!

You are not stupid, you are human. We are here for you. Be strong and be safe.

Thank you! I need people because I only have a few people I trust and two of them are professionals!

Keep the faith, tomorrow is a new day… A chance to start again…You can do this:)

I'm so sorry to hear that. You're not stupid. Keep your head up. We learn by messing up sometimes. I been struggling not to take a drink for a few hours. The struggle is real and deep. Try not to give up and I'll do the same. Hope your friend is ok.

A 1 or 2 day slip up doesn’t erase 8 weeks of clean/sober time. I cant imagine how traumatic that experience was for you. The most important thing is that you get back in the groove quickly and learn something about your slip. Time to put down the bat and stop beating yourself up. You are amongst friends here

The hardest step is admitting you have a problem. You’ve already done that. Don’t discount the 8 weeks because of a slip, you did it before you can do it again. I’m so sorry about your friends hope you and your friend are doing better. It took me 3 years to get 30 days. I celebrated 6 months yesterday, I believe in you

You are not stupid. You're only 8 weeks sober. Your brain is still looking for the Alcohol. And what happened is a big trauma. You should sit and process your feelings. Reach out to a trusted good friend and talk. Then go and give your troubled friend a loving hug a just be there. People here have your back reach out anytime. Prayers go to you and your friend.
