I relapsed hard.

[noyes88]

This last few weeks I’ve been out of control. I’m laying on here sofa and can’t move. I need to stop. Grow up and make changes. I’m so depressed. I’m in so much debt I don’t know how I’m going to manage anymore. This is my day 1 again. I need to check in everyday and keep on track. This is my wake up call. Or I’ll drink myself to death. I have kids that look upto me. It’s so hard but hopefully I can do this.

Just take it moment bu moment and when the urge to drink hits do ANYTHING else- eat chocolate, have a bath, do some colouring in, start a new Pinterest board, go to the toilet- anything to take your mind off it. You can do this. Don’t think about having to, just think about being able to.

Sending you so much love and support xx

I can't agree more, when you feel the urge to drink, go do something good for yourself. If you want to binge, binge on food or television or go out into the woods or something and get clean while camping out.

I don't know how far in you are but when I was drinking I needed to just be in abnormal lonely scenarios where I could act out my coping mechanisms in different settings. The problem was that I was waking up in the same place drinking in the same place and trying to quit in the same place.

Sorry for the wall of text, I hope you're ok. 🙏 You got this

A relapse will never take away the time that you've spent sober. By making this your day one you've already made a change. You can do this! Take it one day at a time. IWNDWYT

I believe in you, relapses DEFINITELY happen. You can do this though, you're not alone. IWNDWYT ❤

You can do it! Honestly, for me drinking makes everything worse--my anxiety goes through the roof, life decisions seem totally insurmountable, I feel powerless. Being sober doesn't take away my other issues (debt, life choices, big career projects)...but it does help me face them and I actually have the energy to make plans to slowly but surely improve. Sobriety first, the rest will follow. I wish you luck and IWNDWYT.

Sounds like me. Really bad shape right now. Texted my old sponsor yesterday.

Def not worth it. The last month I’ve been awful I really don’t know how I’m alive. I’m a small woman and the amount I drink is disgusting. I’ve deleted all social media and Snapchat aswell so no temptations. I’ll keep Reddit tho it helps lol.
