Jusy know is that all you can do is dust your self off and move forward. Mistakes happen. Jusy believe in your self to love your self not to give up ..
It’s a cunning and baffling disease. I relapsed for years before I got significant clean time under my belt. Jason is right, you just pick yourself up and keep going where you left off. You got this!
Keep coming back.
What’s going on you can talk to me.
Don’t beat yourself up, I’ve been there more times than I care to admit. The important thing is that you just pick yourself right back up and keep pushing. You got this!!

I relapsed for the first time 89 days ago. At first it completely devastated me. I couldn't get over how ashamed I felt. But then someone came along and reminded me that we are all simply human. We make mistakes and we have set backs. You're not alone. If you need to vent or chat , or just share because you are struggling just contact me. I'm here if you need me.

One day at a time
Keep getting back up and learn what brought you to that point and work on changing the why so the next time you won't. You just have to keep going. Add friends here and stay connected. Rooting for you

Crystal, what's going on ? Talk to Mandy she's willing to listen
It's a bumpy road and there can be some trip ups along the way. If you fall make sure you fall foward and keep it going.
Its hard sometimes to let down walls and let people in ,our will or God's will, and his thoughts ain't our thoughts
Listen to the voice of truth 
in your mind body and soul
If you're in really rough shape, check into a hospital level detox. Usually 3-4 nights. Medication Assisted Detox is much easier than trying it on your own. They usually have an AODA associate check in with you to offer inpatient or outpatient options.
Crystal Duecks, This hit home for me, I am in the same situation, And I know what dabbling here and there does it turns into 3x a week an entire week+Ect... And I can't seem to get a handle on things, putting it all in my Pandora box and hiding it deep down somewheres it can't be seen again, But ehh it's doin a JackNTheBox special right here suhh lol ...
There is probably no one here who just said one day, one time Oh i guess I'll quit drinking and did it. Relapse happens, get up and try again. But get help. Find others for support because it will get worse each time.
Hi Crystal,
Relapse is part of my sobriety too. I was 89 days and went out for 1 came back for 62 and went out for a few months and will be sober for 5 years on January 15th.
My relapses happened because I wasn't trying to get sober for myself but my family. I was also doing Step Work like I was trying to pass a class verses change my life. Once I really gave up all my bs, I was able to dig in and do the work.
Do you have a sponsor?
The will to be sober takes strength. The will to face the parts of your ego that trigger you to crave an escape takes support
Do you have a sponsor? Have you worked the steps? Have you been going to meeting regularly.? Did you call another alcoholic? Recovery is just like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it. You can’t do half the work and expect all the results.
