Yes! You could have not checked yourself and not come back to us. Keep coning back and you will get it one day. I'm so gratefuly that I always found my way back after failing. I'm going strong right now, and pray that I don't fall victim to my will, but that I come as soon as possible if I do.

Not a failure, you are human. You came back that is an achievement!

Absolutely not. Just make sure you learn something from your relapses.

If your back here and have the willingness, you can start again. Just don’t pickup for today.
You’ve been given an opportunity at sobriety again. Don’t waste it.

Not a failure at all. You reached out! Take some inventory on why you relapsed and start again. Get curious. You can do this. And you are not alone!

It's just a bump in the road, get back on that horse and try again. Almost all of us relapsed after trying.

I had 9 months and relapsed, now I’m back at 6 months! You didn’t go on bender and you’re still alive! You’re right back on track! :heart:

Relapses are just stepping stones, you haven’t forgotten what you have learned the past six months

The day I was supposed to celebrate 6 months became my new sobriety date. This is hard, and for some of us, a relapse reveals a chink in our armor that we didn’t realize was there. It’s ok! Most people relapse, but only few get back on the horse and keep trying

Be kind to yourself, you’re human. I’m at 4 months and I was feeling weak last night… trying to remind myself the benefits of sobriety: no more guilt, healthier relationships, healthier body, clearer mind, no more blacking out…
