Failed

This is a recovery site and I'm ashamed to say late last night I got into it until the sun came up this morning. Tomorrow I will start over. I want this more then anything. Sure doesn't seem like it right now but I do.

What caused you to use? Were you stressed/bored?

It takes effort to admit you made a mistake and shows willingness to start again.

I'd recommend you start NOW. No need to wait for tomorrow.

Just my $ 0.02...

Just pick yourself up, dust yourself down and keep at it. Draw a line under yesterday it's gone. You can do this!

Hi Coffee, glad you're back and not giving up. Can you do something different to help yourself get through this?

Look at what happened and why, learn your lessons, then move on coffeenotbooze

Can you think of things to add to whatever you've been doing to stay sober?

There are no failures posting on this forum. We are all here because we all know deep down that there is a better way. It's a thought I find HIGHLY encouraging.

We are succeeding, learning, or both. No failures. The failures never make it this far.

You're on the road to success. Get up and walk.

You can do this.

You learned something valuable newpath - sometimes we just need further convincing. You're going to do this.
