I'm back as my over a month of sobriety was broken in a big way. I started out at a bar at 10am and finally arrived back home at 8am the next day. Much lighter in the wallet and severely depressed.

I need to make many changes in my life that may or may not include relocating to get some help.

Right now, I am just down on myself and hope some reflection will help me eventually snap out of it.

Getting help is a good idea - this can't be done alone! None of us can do it, so don't be down on yourself - reach out. I needed AA, nothing else would have worked, for me.:ghug3

Exactly what LB said. Hang in there.

Being down on yourself never really helps - only makes it easier for the 'eff its' to occur IMO

Learn from your mistakes, but try not to dwell on them - draw a line, move on
Start again...

Michael we are here for you. I fell also in a big way, I have gotten back up, brushed myself off and am trudging forward. We fall but we have to get right back up. I am 11 days since my horrid relapse and feeling better. The first few days I was in bad shape mentally. You have caught the fall fast, you can do it. We are here for you and AA is there if you have found it. Stay strong! :ghug for ya

Michael,

The important thing is that you keep trying.

Never give up!

Glad you have posted about what happened and how you're feeling. What support have you got cos I couldn't stop and stay stopped on my own. What might you do differently this time? Keep Coming back!!

Make good use of any and all support systems, from AA to this site, to addiction counseling - any support you can get. Learn from your fall and start over! YOu CAN do this!

Don't be too hard on yourself, the important thing is that you dusted yourself off and got right back to it.

No. Everybody needs to hit bottom. I hit mine hard.

But I will help you get back up. And show you what worked for me.
