I had a setback about a month ago. It was very difficult but it does get better.

It’s ok, it happens to the best of us. Just be kind to yourself and start over. You know you can do this! 🩵

Sorry to hear that Kitty. Start back up, don’t beat yourself up over it, and move forward from today. We have all been there.

Give yourself a break. If you’re like me you didn’t ask for help in the past , but you just did with this post…
Whatever you’re doing to stay sober, it didn’t work. At least you know that. Try something different.
When I got honest with myself, things started to change. Me! I changed

Unfortunately this is the process. Learning (growth) is often uncomfortable. When learning to dunk do you stop and beat yourself up bc you can't get the ball over the rim? No. You keep trying. You practice your vertical leap and then one day you make it. Keep it up. You're doing great.

How's it going Alex?

Welcome back! You didn’t lose any knowledge you had. We all do this one day at a time some of us stumble (I did to) just don’t give up hope!

Take it second by second, Kitty…if needed…that is what has helped me to remain sober this time around…( I think I have close to 600 days? )…you are amazing.

You shared here and you care enough about yourself to pursue a sober life.

You can do this…and yes, so many of us…self included can relate with the p o s feelings after screwing up-while this is a brand new moment of life…and you can start again.

I will not drink with you today, Kitty!

The thing about us is that we can make life so complicated for ourselves for no reason.. when we should just focus on the simple things that give us serenity.. like reading a book, exercising or just having a nice cup of coffee…
