Please reach out

Please, someone, just tell me I'll be ok and will get through this. I'm struggling with myself so bad that I cant even find ways to cope. I'm beating the life out of myself for drinking last night. I dont know what to do right now.

Trevor, breathe slowly and calm down. It’ll all be okay! I’ve been where you are at too many times.
I finally got sick & tired of it and got super serious about my sobriety.
I’m here if you want to talk about the real solution.

Trevor,

Every hour you go without retreating back to your addiction is a win. When it hurts, sucks, etc., just remember that you’re winning .

The best things we do in our life mean the most because they inherently ARE very difficult to do.

So you drank last night… so what? You’re allowed to make mistakes. What you’re not allowed to do is let that mistake blow you out of the water and use it as an Avenue to justify giving up .

Message me if you want to chat privately.

Yo Trevor! Close your eyes and Breathe in and count to four then hold your breath for four seconds and then exhale 😮‍💨 for four seconds. You can do that as long as you like and when you’re ready open your eyes! :eyes: the guilt and shame is part of the cycle but I believe that you can break the cycle and start over at any time you choose. Just be honest with yourself and compassionate towards the process. You can do this! Never give up.

Can you check yourself into a Detox or Rehab or Treatment facility? Are you working at a job today?

My brother Trevor this is One Day at a Time. One step at a time. Remember you didn't get like this in 1 day and it will take 1 day for you. Get out of it, but remember to have strength in your power power for your high power is the one that leads you through the time when you just can't do it. Find a meeting, find a sponsor find someone you can speak to. Don't isolate yourself and please don't beat yourself up. Cause that's just what your addiction, what you to do. Your addiction is cutting baffling and powerful. But it's not powerful. It's your higher power and the strength that you have in yourself that you don't know you have. App b bless brother brother george

Trevor, you are going to be ok. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. You are human. We make mistakes. Give yourself some credit for being here with us in the struggle. That speaks for itself that your intentions are good! Be kind to yourself. We all have made choices we regret but try to learn from them and make today a better day for yourself. You are worth it! Things may awful to you in this moment. Breathe and relax, you will get through this. We’re here for you Trevor

You will be ok your ! Keep going hoping for things to just get better and they will day by day change is how everything starts your doing great keep shining :blush::pray:t3::two_hearts:

Every fleeting moment is temporary. This will pass. Don't let one day turn into more days of relapse. Honestly, try grading yourself on a curve. If I'm sober for 9 of 10 days. 100of 300. It's all progress. Our inner addict wants to beat us up so we will feel defeated and continue that bs. Don't beat yourself up. It's a slipp. Don't let it derail you. Tell the shame monster to sit in the corner and to shut up.

It won't let me post my comments ever lol may I DM you what I really wanted to say?

It is a new day and not an easy battle but you can do it keep on moving forward and dont live with regrets of yesterday

You got it bro

Trevor you're going to be alright.

Trevor don't ask me why but first I want to tell you,
YOUR NOT ALONE.
I can't even say that I've ever known any one alcoholic in recovery that's relapsed and not beat themselves up.
That's just what we do. Why cuz were good at it that's all I know.
Just know this that if you didn't feel so awful about the whole situation you wouldn't be human.
So remember be good to yourself because you deserve it.

You are not alone one minute at a time you can do this always reach out I understand how you feel and where you're coming from please don't give up it's not easy but it will get better

We're known to self-medicate. Look into the reasons why you drank and see what else you can do to address those. Don't get down on yourself!
