Relapse

I relapsed last week after 4 years of sobriety. My vices are booze and uppers (coke, adderall)

I have been desperately stressed the last few weeks and used it as
an excuse. Ive been abusing adderall everyday since monday.
I dont know how im going to tell my girlfriend, mother of our beautiful 1 year old daughter, about what i’ve done. I feel like a failure as a partner and a father

Justin, we learn from our relapses and can become wiser and stronger if we choose to.
I asked myself:
Where could I have done better?
Did I make my sobriety my number one priority? Over finance, romance and even family?
Did I give my sober program 100%
Am I being completely UPFRONT and honest with everyone and myself?
My truth will be revealed. Then i take the actions or I don’t.
Keep it simple.
I’m here if you want to talk
