Relapse is part of addiction - and addiction is a big ol' pain in the youknowwhat.
Shame and disgust? Been there, done that. Named myself 'nonsensical' because what I was doing made no sense. I kept listening to that little voice in my head that told me
I could do it just one more time. Just a few drinks today. I can quit on Monday. Just be more careful next time, it'll be fine.
All lies.
The less I listen to those lies, the less shame and disgust I feel.
If you ever find friends, boyfriends, or accomplishments in that bottle you'll be the first.
We know what to do. Let's do it.
