What Relapse Brings - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

TheLadyb · 11-23-2009, 12:23 PM

I relapsed last night.
I was sick all night
My heart was racing, I was sweating
I was sick to my stomach
Today, I am exhausted
My eyes hurt
my stomach is sick
I have bad acid reflux
I am bloated
I look terrible
I can't concentrate
I smell.

It was NOT worth it.

And those are just the physical symptoms!

Hope you feel better soon and don't try that anymore.

I relapsed so many times I thought I'd never get it right.

Learn from this, forgive yourself, and keep moving forward.

Hey there...

I wondered how you were doing as I hadn't seen you around the boards much lately.

Been there, done that. It really hit me hard, physically and mentally when I drank again after some sober time.

Glad to see you back here.

The main thing is to not let this stop your recovery.

Never give up!

I am not giving up on ME.

I had been sober and going to meetings.
Need to look at what happened and get back to it.

"It was NOT worth it." Simply put, but so very true. I did this to myself a few times before it sunk in that I just could not ever touch the stuff again. Sometimes it takes a bit of further proof like this. You know you can do it, and now you're even more determined.
