Not sure if it counts as a relapse after only

Not sure if it counts as a relapse after only being a week sober but progress is progress. The cravings were severe and I gave in, ended up calling in to work and having to take a night off because of it. Overall it really wasn’t even worth it. I didn’t really get too much out of it other than a long sleep, ruined my diet and got a terrible headache, still feel it a little almost 24 hours later. Yeah back to day one, hopefully I can go longer this time, it’s all a learning experience.

It's not a relapse if you haven't gotten it in the first place. It's just a return to bad behavior. It you truly want to stay sober, I suggest attending a support group ASAP. This disease is suicide on the installment plan. If you want to live, there is a solution.

Thanks you two, drinking is bad for me, I feel that it makes me crazy. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to stop, I need to try harder this time.

I did the same exact thing Kyle. Keep going. Just 24 hours at a time. :muscle:

Stop resisting and get help and go to meetings of any kind.aa. Org

Nothing changes if nothing changes. Pick up the phone or hit a meeting. Just don’t pick up that first one.
