On the 8th I'll have 2 months of sobriety again. I had 12 years before this relapse. I feel horrible that at 33 I'm back at square 1. Things are rough today..

You still have 12 years and lots of good work getting there. So a part broke down, you fixed it and will continue on your journey. Good job!

It’s hard to start over, but sometimes we need a reset. I’m on my recovery version 2.0. Got sober at 24 and spent the next 26 years substance free. I don’t know your circumstances, but I completely stopped working on myself after year 9 or 10. I became I husband, father, career chaser etc. I kinda got lost in all of it. I became restless, irritable, and discontent. Felt like daddy needed a “break”. I found it necessary to “escape” from life as the crazy world swirled around me. At 24 I had no clue who I was, so it was kinda hard to dig deep and heal. This time around I have a lot more experience and wisdom. It’s painful, but now you get a do over. Make the most of it. Look at as a challenge to really change your life. I bet one day you will feel grateful for this path.
