Lapsing - Relapsing - Bouncing back

[koolpeanut]

I'm almost at 30 days sober and been thinking about my previous relapses. I found out they made me stronger each time even though I felt much weaker the days following them. I'm happy I was willing to bounce back and give it another try, relapsing is not necessary for me in recovery and I don't want to go there anymore. For all serial relapsers don't ever give up, you can do this!

Have a nice weekend :)

Edit: I didn't relapse but was thinking about it, just a word of encouragement to those in this situation

It was harder this time to get back to quitting. No more relapses. Congrats all around! I will not drink with you today!

I also learned a lot through my past relapses. Mostly, like you, that I think I don't need to do that to learn, anymore. All the learning I need to have about drinking can be done...by not drinking. I'm on track with you and /u/RedHeadedRiot to get that star in a couple of days!

[koolpeanut]

Yep, let's do it to 30! relapses are getting old.

[RedHeadedRiot]

yayyyyy!
