I took a couple of steps backwards earlier in the week. Celebrated a personal goal but didn’t stick to my sobriety. Felt very disappointed in myself yesterday. However, today is a new day with a new beginning. Still trying to figure out this new way of living. I know a better life is in the other side.

As long as your aware and willing to jump back thats what counts.Make small milestones your goals.Thats how I achieve them. I only set goals that are attainable. Good luck your back.

Giving yourself some grace goes along way… dust yourself off and pick up where you left off. Protect that sober date today. Holding yourself accountable for the relapse is a big deal… I’m proud of you!!

I've never ever met a single person who just up and decided one day to quit using. All of us have relapsed multiple times before finding longterm sobriety, don't beat yourself up and keep moving forward

I told myself if I have a mess up I'd still count my days. For example I'd tell myself or whomever cares I've been sober almost 3yrs minus one day. Don't let all that hard work go to waste. One day at a time.
