Well unfortunately I relapsed but I am ready to do this again. No more excuses. I realize how much better I felt when I wasn’t drinking. I never want to go through this again, I feel soo gross and ashamed. But I’m not giving up, I can do this and I will do this. I owe it to myself and my loved ones.

You're right, there can't be any excuses for a relapse. It's a sudden lapse of reason.
I was the relapse king. So many times, so many excuses.
Sometimes there wasn't an excuse at all, I just drank because it was what I did.

Don't be too hard on yourself. start anew with more ambition this time and if you feel like a drink, come back and read your post.
Best to you and many sober days ahead.

I am sorry to hear that you relapsed, Natasha, but happy that you are back with us.

Have you thought what went wrong and what you can do differently?

Here is a link to a great SR thread on the importance of a Plan:

Keep at it, Natasha. You don't fail when you stumble, you fail when you won't get back up again.
