Struggling with an emotional relapse at almost 1 year clean

Things have gotten pretty awful lately so here I am! If you’ve never heard the term “emotional relapse” it basically just means everything went back to the way it was before but you aren’t using. Anyways. Has anyone experienced this? Please tell me I’m not alone :heart: Here’s a picture of my baby kitties for fun.

Yes! Everything you said I’m resonating with - I’m glad I’m not alone in these feelings. I was wondering what in the world was going on with me…

Just hang in there. It won't last forever, your just going through some challenging times right now. Just keep reminding yourself how far you've come, and keep reaching out for help! You're not alone! :purple_heart:

You’re definitely NOT alone! Most of us experience this in early and even long term sobriety.
When I feel like that I know it’s time to dig deeper.
Are you working the steps w a sponsor? Are you doing any service work?
