I joined this forum in 2012 and finally got sober in 2016.

I had a few years, then a few months, then I couldn’t manage a few weeks. Each relapse got harder to come back from...I thought I’d tried everything and I was absolutely at the lowest point in my life when I quit for the last time.

I had to do something that I hadn’t tried before, something radical to step out of the spiral I was in, and I went on a 12 step retreat.

It completely turned my life round and I believe that stepping out of my comfort zone like that saved my life.

Do whatever you need to. If you are in that relapse cycle you need to shake it up and do something that feels uncomfortable and a bit scary.

Good luck ❤️
