Yesterday I relapsed. I'm not sure how to not be disappointed in myself.

It happens man. We are not perfect. Brush yourself off, get back to whatever program you are in and start again. Think of it this way, now you know one more thing that doesn’t work for your sobriety. You can now avoid or adjust that.

Zach, thanks for posting this! I know it's difficult, but we don't need to be disappointed in ourselves, we just need to keep working at it, and it will get easier. We got this!

You're not alone. I've relapsed too. I feel so horrible and worried
You're not going to be sober for the rest of your life in one day. Just relax. Stay sober just for today. Then just keep doing that everyday. You got this. We believe in you.
That’s why you hear “one day at a time” it’s a long journey. There can be slips but as long as you get up again you are still winning.
I’ve heard a relapse is part of recovery. Keep moving forwards in the right direction. Hopefully you can identify triggers from this experience.
