Hello, Enlightenment: So sorry for your relapse after so long in recovery. Relapse starts way before you pick up a drug or drink. So you can rebuild and start again knowing what you didn't do that maybe you can make better this time.
Thank you so much for sharing. This takes a LOT of courage to admit after so long in recovery. I have had nightmares about relapsing and the heart pounder that awakened me every time was when I was realizing I had to tell all my friends from recovery and go back to my meetings and tell everyone.
I really needed to hear this. It helps me stay sober today. Thank you.
