You made some really good points, Laura. I had a relapse too and my new first day of abstinence was yesterday, Sept. 14. It sounds like you are getting yourself back on track. Let's just remember that all we have to focus on is Today. We can do it for just one day. I also started walking again yesterday. I only walked for 25 min. and that was in two different intervals. I do think that we are doing good just to do what we can and to start back up slowly so that we don't get discouraged and overwhelmed. And getting to your meetings was a good choice.

After my relapse, I came here and posted. I went and wrote out my true feelings on paper. I then went to read some OA literature and pray. I said the Serenity Prayer several times with each thing that I'm dealing with in mind. I journaled all that I ate and drank the next day and figured out and wrote down all of my triggers that I could think of. Just some things that I've tried to map out so that maybe this won't happen again. Keep coming back here.
