Mom Guilt/Feminine Failure
I relapsed two days ago after a month of sobriety. I cannot figure myself out. I am trying so hard this time for sobriety and I hate being addicted to alcohol. I also stopped taking my medication, got really depressed and decided to drink. My son will no longer trust me and I am ruining his childhood.
I just cannot get over the guilt of being a bad mother. I used to be a different person: motivated; self-sacrificing and loving. What has happened to me and why can't I stay sober?
