I am one year plus clean and sober, and today I received the judgment that my son is not in a dangerous situation with his drug-dealing, alcoholic father. So for now he goes back to dad and we have to work out a new custody situation in the coming weeks. I tried to protect my child and I feel like I failed.
Don’t beat yourself up. Keep fighting and above all stay sober! You have the chance to work out a new custody arrangement… keep your eye on that prize. You didn’t fail anyone. Not yourself, not your son… keep records of everything. Keep going to meetings, keep working the program. You will figure it all out.

I'm with Tim. You haven't failed, you just haven't gotten the result you want yet. Big difference there. Keep doing what you are doing and keep working your program. Without that, everything else falls apart.
