Nothing for it other than going at it again, you'll get there!!

Are you getting enough support? meetings? etc

You can do this!!

Looks like you've had a lot of Day 1s in the last six months.

You are a tougher person than I . That much self-destruction takes a lot of purposeful action.

Why not use your energy to do the action of not picking up this time?

No one is doing this but you. Your hand, your mouth. Your agony. You can stop it. It is a decision.

Glad you are back at it, the alternative is grim. Have you gone back through and tried to figure out what went wrong/what your plan was missing?

I'm glad you're back.

What can you do differently this time?

I know exactly what happened. I had a craving and it got the better of me. I had some cash and someone gave me some free pot and there I was back at it for a few days. It started to turn into a binge and I ended up dumping the beer and pot in the toilet yesterday afternoon.

I don't have a very strong support system and when I'm not with my son I'm alone most of the time do to various reasons, being out of work with back/shoulder problems, no supportive family/friends.

I have to work harder on developing a support system. The thing is, I don't really have anyone in person to talk to and I don't like most of the people at AA. I have been trying to get some kind of counseling but when uninsured it's not something I can remotely afford. I am waiting for my medicade application to be processed so I can get so therapy.

Y'know there's chat here for live conversation. Or you can use Chatzy - Free Private Chat Rooms to set up your own private chatroom with a friend. If you just want human contact go to a diner and have a coffee at the counter, talk to the waitress. Go to a catholic church and talk to a priest.
