i had a miniature relapse last night and immediately went home after it happened, realizing what i was doing.
i don’t go to NA or AA anymore, i’m apart of refuge recovery and dharma, but those are one meeting a week groups. I do trauma therapy every Tuesday, and have learned so much about communicating healthily despite my triggers.
my partner is mad at me for this relapse and i don’t know how to help her because i feel so badly that i think i need to help myself right now.

do you guys have any advice on how to handle today?

Hopefully you can communicate that you need to take care of yourself before you can meet the needs of your partner. The guilt that you’re feeling is probably stronger than any feelings that they are having.

Recognize the mistake, be accountable for an appropriate amount of time, and then move forward.
