I have had a relapse. Im am trying to not fall into the trap of guilt and shame. This time of year is extremely difficult for me and others I'm sure. I used this morning and will forgive myself and ask forgiveness. Staying clean even counting minute by minute. Much love and prayers for all suffering tgis time of year or any time. Need support and prayers from as many people as I can. Thank you

Never feel guilty or feel the need for forgiveness.
Trust yourself to do better for your health, not for others.
Yesterday is gone. Today is a new day.
Ok Carmel thank you im trying
I heard something that was encouraging for me. Grade yourself on a curve. If I'm sober 90 out of 100 days. 9 days out of 10. Whatever, the count is then that's waaay more days than not. Especially if you've been messing up for a lot time. Be kind to yourself. Fall down but don't stay down.
Shawn, relapses don’t define you, what you do after does. Forgiving yourself is huge, and you’re already taking the right steps by reaching out. You’re not alone, man, especially during tough seasons like this. Keep counting those minutes, and they’ll turn into days before you know it.
Sending you strength and support.
