I screwed up again... will I ever learn? Sometimes I feel like I won't. My depression has been so bad and I think that's a big part of it... I'm just so tired of everything lately...

Asher’s it’s ok… let’s get back up and dust yourself off. Are you able to see a psychiatrist or therapist for your depression? Can you go to a meeting and talk about what’s going on with you? :pray:t3:…. Also I miss your funny memes :blush:

Asher’s, thanks for sharing your experience. I too was a chronic relapser. I just kept getting back up! Finally I went to AA meetings every morning and every night for over a year, got a sponsor, did the steps and made my sobriety my number 1 priority in life. Everything worked out. 14 years sober.

Aww thanks. Yeah I'm going to schedule an appointment for my meds to be readjusted or something tomorrow. I had to work today so I didn't have time. I've tried to go to meetings around here before but I just can't seem to find any that I like... I'll just have to keep trying or maybe if I can get a friend to go with me then It won't bother me as much... and I will have to start posting some more memes. Just been too depressed for any of it.

Thanks and I'm trying not to. I feel like I'm handling it better then I usually would so I guess that's a plus. :grinning:

Ashers just do it, go all in. The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll be happy. This disease is cunning, baffling & powerful.

Totally identify…. Missing meetings . Anxiety is through the roof . My sponsor isn’t picking up :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:I’m deep breathing and reminding myself it’s temporary . Higher power is getting me to bed early . Remember rest and it’s temporary. A breakthrough is at hand​:pray::heart:

Slip ups happen. Darn, I remember I had slipped 3 times with drugs and third time really got me saying F NO!!! Over time your body will love being clean and the drugs will make your body hurt, and make you feel ill. Just brush yourself off, it's just a lesson learned!
