Hello Sis ,

The definition of failure is " just not falling ". It is falling and then not trying to get up. So you have not failed, if you try to get up and succeed to get up.

Thomas Alva Edison failed 1000 times before inventing the electric bulb. Imagine, what if he gave up after 999th failure ?

Off course, we can not afford to fail 1000 times while trying for sobriety. Life is too short for that.

Whatever happens, just do not give up trying for it.

Hi Sisterforever and Lynzi, kudos to you both for making it back and welcome back.

Relapsing does not make anybody a failure. Recovery is difficult, but it can be achieved. It may take discipline and determination - and it may take a willingness to change, but try not to do it alone. I'm not saying you have to join AA, but I do suggest support groups (like this awesome site) and build a good network of sober friends. Sometimes one just needs to be around sober individuals to gain fresh insight into living a contented, sober life.

Keep postin' and best wishes
