relapsed last saturday after 9 mo bc i felt so lonely and now i feel more lonely than ever even tho i’ve been surrounded by new and old “friends” when really they’re just happy im using with them. i hate myself that i’ve been trying to justify it, but it’s crazy how much i can mess up everything i’ve been working towards in a week.

The clean time you had is still there. It’s not gone. Use your relapse as a learning experience and go back to building on those 9 months as a foundation.

Lonely, tired, hungry, angry… the 4 horsemen of relapse. People who are not addicts will never understand being an addict. I had to come to terms with that. And it’s alright that they don’t. First and foremost you need to look after yourself. With or without substances, you are still you! Be the best version and the ones that matter will be there right next to you. Don’t beat yourself up. Relapse happens. Just get back up and start the work over! You got this.
