What would be helpful right now are just some words of encouragement, along the lines of get back in the saddle. Rest tonight, and get at it tomorrow.
Anything that might be a source of encouragement when I check back in the morning.
Thanks community. I can do this. And a few words would be helpful.
We've all been there.
One Good Thing is that you came here and you told on yourself. That was honest and honest is essential to recovery.
Get some water, get some rest, shake the alcohol out of your system and get back to your plan, back to your commitment and back on the track of a sober, rewarding life.
I know you know that every time we fall, we have the opportunity to learn - so my suggestion to you is that you search deeply about what you can learn about yourself, about your plan, about shifting to give yourself better support this time around.
You can do it.
