Relapsing Every 2-3 Days after 2 Years of Being on Track
Some of you may be familiar with my story. I am an opiate addict and I've also had problems with alcohol at times. I've been having trouble stringing together more than a couple days of sobriety at a time. Usually around 2-3 days is when I relapse. This whole relapse started with pills and I ended up starting to drink instead after not having an issue with alcohol for about 3 years. The good news I suppose is that I have had some control over my drinking, have not been drinking everyday, but even so, 1 drink is too many for me.
I've been feeling more anxious / depressed lately. I know a lot of people are with the Pandemic and Quarantine and stuff. I think this makes it harder to stay clean because when I'm fighting these urges to use or drink I feel down and that sometimes I guess contributes to me wanting to use?
My counselor has advised me that I need to be seeking support beyond just talking to her. So I am here.
