How I ended up at a Mardi Gras party last night, I don't even know. I said no because I knew better, but then five minutes later I was up and out the door. Totally fell off the wagon. I'm trying to give myself grace and show myself kindness today, but dang. It's so stupid, like why? I even said I didn't want to go because I was finally feeling good and I wanted to stay that way.
And now here I am.
Again.
It happens. It shouldn't, but it does. Get up, dust yourself off, and get squared away. Next time, let your "no" mean NO!. Call up a sober buddy, go to a meeting. Go to a movie. Anything but the thing triggering you.
Don't overthink it. Unfortunately, only you know why it happened and that's okay. Stay present, stimulate your mind, do something active and pay it forward. Just as long as the you keep on moving... don't stay static in this moment.
Everyone slips up, this journey is progress not perfection, you’ve recognized you want this, don’t be frustrated, one day at a time, sounds counter intuitive but it helps if you go to sleep sober you wake up sober.
Thank you everyone
Chin up, back at it💪
The fall isn’t what’s important. Getting Right back up is:bangbang: I suggest AA if you’re struggling. Saved my life. You can do this 
Mardi gras is quite tempting 🤷. I know I sound like a broken record, but here comes the difference between a slip and a relapse again..you have slipped, you used, realized ya screwed up and sought council/advice....this is the best time to nip it in the bud. If you used, gave up, said to heel with it then kept using that's a relapse. You've caught it at the best time to regain your sobriety. Check out some meetings like AA or SMART if you can...even a zoom meeting will help sure up your sobriety. Good luck and stay strong
