Relapsing within 4 to 40 days after recovery

Huh? We never recover. We arrest our disease and keep it at bay. Eventually we get to live life and enjoy living it.

I relapsed multiple times in that same window of time. All I can do is share what helped me. I ended up going away to a 120 day minimum program in New Hampshire. It helped me get over that hump and gave me valuable tools to utilize, including daily AA meetings and finding my sponsor. Keep going.

Thanks. I need a chunk of time in recovery. I was so sober for 7 years and I’ve been in active addiction for about that amount of time now. It’s really rough the past 3 years or so, I’ve been using for 30 years & it’s never been this dark or this can nsuming…

Thanks. I wish I could get professional help, it’s not an option at the moment. I have to find some type of local /out patient support…:disappointed:

The past is past. Stay in the day and keep that future you in sobriety the goal now. You can do this.

Be easy on yourself. Give yourself some grace, god has. You have to remember it’s ok to not be ok and reach out to someone especially when you don’t want to reach it. I know it’s easier said, I struggle with it too especially with having mental illness on top of addiction. But one thing I want you to remember more than anything, God gave his strongest warriors the hardest battles, you are one of his strongest warriors battling addiction.
