How do you all handle this? How do you handle the crappy days? What do you tell yourself when you come home and think '**** it', how do you turn it around?
I've seen people post that you need to go easier on yourself after a relapse, but how do you train yourself to do that?

how did i handle bad days?
i admitted and accepted alcohol was no longer a solution for ANYTHING.
then decided i was willing to learn how to live life on lifes terms.
"I've seen people post that you need to go easier on yourself after a relapse, but how do you train yourself to do that?"
training-the
action of teaching a person or animal a particular skill or type of behavior.
training myself with the training i had to live life on lifes terms would have gotten me drunk whenever i had to learn something new because drinking was what i trained myself to do for anything and everything.
that alone had me realize that alcohol wasnt the problem, but the solution- so i thought.
i thought wrong.
i found my way to AA. started working the program. did alot of listening to others at meetings. asked questions.
and started putting into action what i was learning.
