Will continue to take one day at a time and accept what I have done. I can't change the past. I have no one to blame but myself.
Hi Luper! I get caught up in the same spiral every time I quit. The shame, guilt, and regret can really demotivate you so you have to let it go. There is no changing what's done. All you can do is move forward. You can try to right some of the wrongs but a lot of the time you simply can't. So, what do you do about that? Nothing you can do. Shame, guilt, and regret left me feeling hopeless many times, and that led me back to the bottle. Look ahead. It's the only place you can go without going backward, and I don't think you wanna go there again!
And congrats on 5 days!!
