Shame and guilt

It’s gonna be okay babe, no matter what it’s gonna be okay! Pick urself back up and get urself back up and into recovery, find a program maybe even look into suboxone via telehealth like Workit health or groups recover together, Workit saved my life honestly.. if u need a friend I’m here, I’m also back from relapse after almost 3 1/2 years..

Focus on today your not drinking just for today. Take one day at a time that’s all we can do. Everything else will pass. Go to a meeting and get a sponsor

Thanks you to everyone for the sweet and supportive words

Doll, get yourself into a rehab for help. You will gain their trust back and they will NEVER stop loving you regardless! You had 11 months, that’s amazing and you can and will do it again!

If you could please do me a favor! Would be much obliged.

If you could just go to the bathroom mirror,
Look yourself in the eyes,
and say out loud

“Jess, I forgive you. Just like I forgive everyone else that I love. Because I love you, just as much as I love everyone else.” - Repeat as needed

Thanks a million you’re the best!

Get up!! Get to a meeting!! U can do it!!!!!

It’s ok, I believe in you. Get to some meetings

Don't worry. Your hard wasn't all for nothing. I've been at 354 lbs before then I went down to 270 then back up to 320 then back down to 270 now I'm at 300. If lose control and eat a whole box of pizza I forgive myself the next day and don't give up. 99.9% of people would succeed as long as they don't give up. Sure you had a set back we all do sometimes just whatever you do don't give up.

Hello Jess. I’m so sorry this happened. You jump back up and start over. Don’t go back. Go forward. Wake up and keep the faith. You took one step back. Start taking steps forward and fight this disease. I been sober 29 months. And never going back. Get your family trust back and prove them how you going to stop your trust to them. Look I woke up in a coma from cirrhosis of the liver God spared me a life. I should had died but after several surgeries they saved my soul Believe me you don’t want to get this liver disease. You can quit. Do it My name is Paul and I can give you full story. I’ll friend request you so one day if you want to talk just message and will help with any questions or concerns I’ll help you out

You have given up on yourself first of all love yourself change your thoughts find something u can do great. learn something like roller, skating or skating, and most of all connect with other people who are having a hard time, tell your story, and most of all look up smart recovery, we’re online

Please come back from the edge and get this digital hug i am sending you right now.

Getting back into recovery and staying sober is what’s gonna make life worth living. I know it seems like you’re in a dark hole right now, but I promise you can get back to being sober and being happy. Hitting bottoms are never fun, and a great reminder as to why staying sober so important. You are very strong and can do it again. Keep fighting!

Jess— I hope this helps. Relapse is part of recovery. The most important thing is that you learn from it. The relapse is the result of something that’s been going on (or not been going on) for a while. Remember, sobriety is only a part of recovery. Keep doing recovery activities to get through this difficult period. Exercise, journal, be kind to yourself. Make a long list of all the things you are grateful for and read it out loud back to yourself when you wake up and go to sleep. Remember, you deserve to be happy. AA wasn’t for me but SMART Recovery fit me better. Wishing you so much peace.

It happens .Jess It HAPPENS . dust yourself off soldier . Get back up ...and try again ! Never give up .

Life is about making choices, and you never have to feel the way you feel right now ever again. Make the right choice and remember the pain you feel right now and choose to be clean. You’re alive and breathing so start fresh and dedicate yourself to making the right choices moving forward! You got this!!

We slip at times, it’s ok! Just know that drinking won’t make thongs better. Let this be a lesson and keep this in mind next time you’re in a vulnerable situation. Do you go to meetings and have a sponsor? If not, I suggest you do those 2 things first and foremost.

But forgive yourself and start over. It’s ok ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I have 73 days in I was at 19 months and I felt shame and guilt about it as well and I did the hardest thing I ever had to do after my kids seeing my likee that for there first time ever I checked into treatment then started my step work and calling my sponsor everyday we fall but if we get back up with the open mindedness the willingness and the honesty of knowing we are powerless over our addiction we will make it I promise
