You guys can do this! I know things are frustrating at times, but drinking really won’t make it any better! Think of how much less you have hurt your body and mind with all the sober time you have amassed, and how much harder it will be to stop if you keep drinking.
This **** is really hard.... you are not a failure, RAL! We have all fallen and then gotten back up again. In SMART they encourage you to use it as research! Don’t let the nasty voices in your head tell you that you can’t do this. You can!
Tanky— Glad you are ready to brush it off and start again. You are really amazingly tough you know! I don’t think I could do what you do, but I am so glad there are people like you who advocate for others in the way you do.
