I had a relapse out of the blue. Today is day 1. Embarrassed but I have to be honest.

I’m proud of you for sharing about your relapse with us. “Telling on myself” and being honest usually helps me, so I’m glad you did the next right thing.

Thank you. It was tough to come clean but the secret would have killed me

I relapsed after over 3 years clean. Coming back was hard but my pride would have killed me if I didn’t get honest & get into the solution. I’m proud of you for stepping up. Sponsorship, step work, rigorous honesty, meditation… those are just what works for me. As addicts/ alcoholics, it is UNNATURAL for us to NOT use so every 24 hour is a victory. You will triumph one day at a time.

So you stumbled. It's a big deal if you let it be and stay there. You didn't and that's what counts. You can do this. It's a new yr, now live it. Happy New Year the best Is in front of you.

A relapse isn’t anything to be embarrassed about. Life happens and when we slip, we just have to pick up and go. Embarrassed is how to feel if you don’t get up
