Struggling
 

I have only been sober for a couple of weeks after reapsing after 2yrs sobriety. I feel i have let everyone down. I sponsor 2 people and i just cant get out of this negative rut. My familt all think that i am ok, but they are not in my head, thank god. Any suggestions

Hi Daniel :)
Welcome to SR :)

I'm not in AA but have you spoken to your sponsor yet?
Maybe that's a good place to start?

Hi Daniel. First off the fact that you had 2 years sober is a huge accomplishment. Take this relapse and learn from it. What was going on right before that first drink? Had you decreased the amount of time in meetings or working on the steps? Learn from this experience. If you're really done this time I think you know what to do. Don't beat yourself up though just get back on that wagon. Welcome back :)

Dee's right, have you talked to your sponsor? As an active AA member have you made any phone calls or shared this at a meeting?

Daniel,

Don't be so hard on yourself. You are a remarkable person. You achieved two years of sobriety andf lent your support to two suffering alcoholics. That speaks of great compassion and strength. You relapsed, yet didn't give up. That speaks of great tenacity. You reached out for support and demonstrated courage and honesty. You haven't let anyone down. You are just human with an incurable illness. Congratulate yourself on NOT giving up and lending your support to others.
