No shame, get back on the horse and start over. I promise it's worth it. I'm at 72 days after I relapsed at 31.

Don't beat yourself up.i relapsed many times.each relapse taught me how to improve my program.didn't focus on what has been done.look at what is happening and what will happen with the new knowledge you have gained.
You are here moving forward...that shows strength,courage and determination.

Get yourself locked in to some type of program you’re comfortable with and put the same effort into you do towards your drinking and you’ll be glad you did. You got this!

No worries. It is like practice eventually you practice enough and things start clicking. What is really important is that you are motivated. Keep trying.

Kim. I recently went through the same thing. This morning I got up and said ok that’s enough. I also determined what was the reason why I fell of the “horse”. It’s hard though cause I did so well for a month and then things just fell apart on me. But I am not giving up. I have been sober before I can do it again. And so can you !!!

Get back at it Kim, keep stacking those days! Listen to MJ and the salt shaker analogy — does anyone have a good way to phrase that?

Relapse isn’t failure, it’s a learning opportunity.
