Try not to beat yourself up. Hangover anxiety is the worst. It’s taken me a couple years to get to day 14 today. Go high five yourself in the mirror and say I love you! :pray::heart:

Good morning Hazel please don’t beat yourself up. Falling is what we do. How we get back up is really what matters. We are all here for you. Have a blessed day. God bless you.

It happens! We are really good at talking ourselves into one drink, we deserve it, the list goes on and on. All lies of course. But don’t forget the past 8 days you were sober and don’t discount those days. Pick yourself up and keep making those sober days count!

I don’t even look at booze when I’m in a store!!!!! I tell myself you DO NOT need it. It’s expensive and you act stupid when you drink!!!! Last drink for me was June 15th. We can do this!!!!

I CHOSE to relapse thousands of times. Until I really and truly wanted to be sober and continually CHOSE to be sober. I chose to “relax”or celebrate by doing whatever while sober.
Basically I’m making choices that better serve me and the people in my life.
It’s entirely my choice.
I hope this helps🙏

How are you today? The fact that you want to get sober after your relapse shows how much you want it! You are not alone and I’m here if you need anything

Welcome back! Don’t beat yourself up over slips. It takes a lot of us a lot of tries to get sustained long-term sobriety. I hope you have been able to push through the past couple days but the fact that you’re back here and honest about it is a great sign! Keep reaching out for support because this recovery thing can’t be done alone
