I'm not about to bury myself.

As i revealed about five days ago, i relapsed this past friday after having a little more than two weeks clean and when i fell, i fell HARD. The slip happened friday attending a party i shouldnt have attended in early sobriety and the bender followed for four more days afterwards. I went so hard on friday that my head was so twisted up saturday so i used again, and again, knowing i was only making it worse on myself, until i finally ended it yesterday. Today is day two and i am once again, depressed, anxious, the whole works. My sick head wanted to keep the bender going until after the 4th so i wouldnt have to deal with that day, but i was just too warn out to use yesterday and i guess that was a good thing. Alcohol, vicodin, Ativan, Klonopin, Ambien, Heroin, all found there way back into my system so quick its a shock to me. If theres one thing i learned from this relapse its that i have no ******* clue how serious my habit has gotten again so fast, if i dont stop i will for sure die before im 30. Ill come back in a few days and write more when i have something more positive to say. Im gonna attend meetings and just get back in the game. Thanks for listening, ill be reading around this forum just like i have been even when i was using...Talk to you all soon.

You can do this, Yankees. Add over 20 more years to your drinking/drugging time and you have me...yet I've done it - coming up on 18 mos. sober. I only did alcohol, but that was enough. During my last binge I knew I was going to die if I didn't stop - and finally I pulled myself up out of hell. There are no more good times to be found at the bottom of a bottle for me. Oh, how hard it was to finally admit it. It can only get better from here, Y - you never have to do this to yourself ever again.

I read your other post Yankee, so glad to see you back. It sounds like you definately relapsed hard, but sounds like you really regret it too. Just hang in there this weekend and stay safe!

Yankee, I know from experience that failure and relapse is discouraging which causes us to want to use more in order to hide from the shame and disappointment. Please don't give up, keep trying, keep reading the posts on SR and continue to work toward staying sober. That's the only way you will ever get there. Quitting is easy. I've done it 10,000 times. It's staying sober that is the difficult part. Know that we are here to support you and encourage you to get "back in the game." You can do it if you will follow the good advice that others have given on this site.

Yankees, I'm just glad you are okay/alive and survived that crazy drug/alcohol combo! Know you have this site's support.

Stay safe,
Rach
