hi june,
glad you made it back, some don't. trying not to beat yourself up is tough after a slip, i know, been there done that. but i've learned that we shouldnt be too hard on ourselves because of it. it was our disease acting up, and something caught us off guard. so try and look at this as a learning experience instead. think about what you can do next time to avoid this.
you did what alcoholics do, it's a natural action. the miracle happens when our want not to pick up wins. we hav to work hard every day for this want to win over our addiction. it does get easier with time and program.
today i carry my 24 hour coin with me everywhere i go, i used to carry my each coin i collected with it, 24, 30 days, 60 days, ect. today i carry my 24 hour coin in my left pocket, and my one year coin in the right. when ever i go into a pocket for money i'm reminded of what i have today, and where i was yesterday. it really helps me not want to go back
