Lapse I had a lapse

A week ago, I had a lapse. I was offered some percocet, and I was in a lot of pain from rheumatoid arthritis no excuse, just facts. So I said yes. I am not going to punish myself or bathe in guilt like I normally do. I learned my lesson, and I'll be stronger if there is a next time around. Im proud of how far I've come 1 and 1/2 years sober before the lapse. I'm just going to keep moving forward with a newfound love and respect for myself

I like your attitude Roseva. I hope you have some sober support. I think there are a few meetings there :slightly_smiling_face::pray:

Good for you - just keep moving forward just like you said

That’s the best attitude you could have had about the situation. You got back up and dusted yourself off and kept going. That shows strength and determination.
