Hurt,
To whom this may concern,
Last night I broke my 11th day of sobriety. I ingested an opiate and was also drinking beer with it. I don't remember all of last night. I then woke up at 2am feeling my legs almost numb. My lower back is in some pain. My legs are still numb. I feel that this is my rock bottom and I need to strive for greatness in myself. I go to an addiction clinic on the 9th to help with my journey on the road to recovery.
Sincerely, ow

As a fellow "relapser" I know how you are feeling.
But good on you for coming here and telling someone , helped me feel better.
Use it as ,privation, remember that ****** feeling, and commit to not wanting to feel that way again.
That's how I am facing it!
Take care and good luck

Welcome Boarder. I think you'll feel better posting & reading about other people's experiences.
I had many false starts over the years - but SR helped me find the courage to change my life. I'm glad you're going to the clinic. Please let us know how you're doing.

Hi. This is a big thing in our lives wit a bit of negative progress if we forget that we don't have to get sober again if we don't pick up the FIRST drink/drug. It's a simple idea though not always easy in the beginning until we surrender, which many don't want to do. When my pain got bad enough that I surrendered to the care of people at AA meetings life got much better. Millions have got a good life as a result of getting honest with themselves and admitting surrender is winning in the long run. BE WELL

Be proud you got so far. Take it as a learning curve that next time you have the craving next time come on here. Find this post and remember the feelings you are having right now. Tomorrow is a new day and fresh start. Good luck
