It happens but what matters is how you get back on the right track.

Screw the guilt. It's usually short lived among us.
Short periods of reflection.
Get to meetings, talk to your sponsor, be honest.

Remember to trust in your higher power. Relapse is a part of recovery for many of us. It's just the nature of the best that we face daily. It's about progress and not perfection. You can do this.

Just remember- That is now in the past. Today is a new day. There’s no shame in starting over. We got your back.

@cassidy416568 you didn't lose anything you just traded it in for alcohol. I bet you if you went back to where you last saw it all it will still be there.

It's ok. Just do the right thing today. It will get better. Keep up the good work!!!

Relapsing can be part of the journey. Keep trying. That guilt will get stronger each time you relapse. Be thankful you have guilt. For me guilt got so strong that nothing got in my way to be sober and stay that way. Try again

I kicked myself in the teeth for months after I relapsed, lots of guilt and shame, but I had to start at ....One day or Day One... You can do it.

Hey Cassie we all have slip ups I say there r more like a hick up as long as u know what and how it happened I’ve had a couple and they only lasted one day but as u would have realized by u mistake and you went back to sober. I say you had a hiccup when you relapse to me relapse is like six months year something like that you know a day or two that’s a hiccup and we learned by these hiccups just learn and don’t do it again and you’ll be fine and we love you here if nobody else does.

All we have is this moment one moment turns to one minute one minute turns to two and two turns to three and we're back on track that's all that matters we are all one drink away so easy does it you deserve it. Be blessed
