Don’t ever feel guilty. We are victims of our addiction. Your addiction is a powerful evil force and also a power greater than yourself. The real you is an amazing person and you deserve the best. Don’t beat up the real you because what your addiction made you do

No guilt just get back on that horse and try again. It's normal to not succeed right away.

I t truly can relate with the anxiety and the shame after they relapse. But the good part is is that you didn’t stay down that is good to feel this type of feeling because when we were in our active addiction and Alcoholism,we didn’t have any feelings. we didn’t care who we hurt how we looked. But now having these feelings of anxiety and a little shame and sadness, let’s us know that we are ever growing in our humanist. Which we didn’t have before or feel. I encourage you to get out of the past and go not nowhere near into the future but stay there now, and just be grateful that you have power made a way that you came back. You did not die you didn’t take a life. So focusing out on the solution focusing on our problems, never gotten us anywhere how can we fix a problem? We always looking at the problem? But if we focus on a solution, then our eyes are not so bearing into our mistakes until I sell pity into our anxiety I’m praying for you. God bless
