One day at a time! You will be okay, and you are capable and worthy of being/becoming the best version of yourself! (It’s called recovery for a reason, try not to be so hard on yourself)

It’s not starting over just continuing along your journey. You haven’t lost anything but a clean d8. I relapsed after almost 6 years but it was the spotlight I needed shinning on what I wasn’t doing for my recovery

Just keep trying! Every day 1 is still a day without and a new beginning! You should be proud of yourself for not giving up despite relapsing. That’s such an underestimated difficulty in recovery.

I want you to hold on to what you're feeling for as long as you can and I want you to remember what you're feeling the next time you want to pick up a drink.
The reason you keep relapsing is because you keep believing the BIG LIE that alcohol is feeding you.
Alcohol tells you that if you just have a few drinks everything's going to be okay but it never turns out that way does it?
This is called the Insidious cycle of insanity.
If you want long-term sobriety sooner or later you're going to have to learn how to walk through the pain and realize that alcohol is lying to you.
We have to learn to play the scene forward. What happens when you pick up a drink? You might feel some comfort and relief for a very short period of time. But sooner or later you're going to be right back where you are right now, carrying around more shame like you're doing right now realizing that you accomplished absolutely nothing.
You have to get to the point where you're sick and tired of being second tired.

I know the feeling.. it sucks. I had almost 2 years of sobriety when I relapsed and the shame of it kept me down for a few months until I picked myself up again. Don’t let one moment of weakness destroy the progress you had made. Progress not perfection.
