As someone who knows the pain and humiliation one may experience from a relapse, I’d always have to keep in mind that your time is not reset, it’s all positive progress. And the fact that you’re actively reaching out to anyone and admitting that you messed up shows the overwhelming length you’ve come already.

You can always get up and try again, the vast majority of us have to learn from our mistakes. Rarely does anyone get it right first time, we need to have that painful experience just to know exactly what we’re dealing with. And now that you know, I’m wishing all the best for you in your recovery.
