| relapse
Hey everyone. Day 47 for me!! I'm stoked.
NM: I just finished reading Beautiful Boy, by David Sheff. Sheff relates the story of his son's addiction, funny, sad, touching .... In it he talks about the fact that for many people relapse is part of recovery. A very dangerous part. We all have to just do the best we can from where we are. After a relapse, I get all collapsed in shame, which keeps me stuck and makes it more likely that I'll continue to drink. So, please allow yourself some forgiveness and compassion.
Peace,
Jana |
