I relapsed after 32 days. I thought I would be able to get sober alone without putting in the work. Today I went to AA and picked up my first desire chip and it felt so good to have support. I got a new outlook on sobriety and more motivation to keep going. Always remember you don't have to do this alone :heart:

Right on! Congratulations on those 32 days and the realization that we've got to put in the work daily. I too am reminded of this lately!

Sobriety has a price, stay in the middle of the herd, do the work and help others gain Sobriety. Also get some service work in.

We learn far more from our failures than our successes- this is just another opportunity and with 32 days of knowledge, you’re already a step ahead- keep going!!

And the word “failures” is just the way I’ve heard it said- you ARE NOT A FAILURE (just to be clear)

Relapse is just the beginning of your new life. You need to decide that you are done and ready to be sober……for good. You’ll only get it if you really want it!
