Slayin- My history is one of relapse. A serial relapser, if you will. I've been working at sobriety, on and off, for over a decade.
Sober for almost a year, then relapse. Sober for almost another year then relapse. Then another sober stint. Relapse.
I just could not seem to get past the one year threshold. I am now at 18 months sober.
Alcohol is a very powerful substance. You are more powerful though. You have the strength to overcome any obstacle. Never be defeated and never surrender. Its true. Believe in your ability to overcome this challenge and take what you have learned to help others. You got this.
Relapse is a chapter in the novel of our precious lives. I believe in you, Slayin!
