If I had a dollar for every time I relapsed....we've all been there and done that, dust yourself off, learn from it, and keep going. It's a part of everyone's recovery story

Darby you got this. I was the relapse king. It took me 24 years to really catch on. Now that I went through it again it was devastating. I was sober 15 years when my wife passed away. I stopped going to and I started right where I off. Remember no one I been NO ONE CAN TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM YOU. IT IS YOURS. YOU EARNED IT. Just pick yourself up by your bootstraps first yourself of hold your head high and start w walking forward.

That makes more sense to me than a lot of things. Thank you

Thank you!

I don't see one day as a complete start over. You still went 65 days. Just stop again and move on. Your human and you did 65 days. Do another 65

Relapse is part of recovery. It is learning what not to do in the long run

I'm at like 59 days I think . Idk. Pretty sure. Finally maybe I can grasp and hold life in my lap closely and somehow let the grief blow off me when the wind blows strong

If there wasn't a day 1, most of us would be dead by now! Welcome back! Sorry you slipped, but it can't make you slip today! Thank you for sharing this.

As a habitual relapser, I know your pain all too well. You’ve proven to yourself that you can do 65 days!! Just get back at it. As long as we have hope, we’re not hopeless……as long as we keep trying, we haven’t given up.

I’m also a habitual relapsed. Have been for 10 years. I’ve currently have 15 days…longest for me in a very long time. We can do this!!
