I thought I had this figured out. I decided to drink Friday night and then again yesterday. I feel remorse, regret and like a complete loser. I know how good I feel and what a better person I am when I stay away, yet I did it again!
I'm back at Day 1 again and want this to be my last day 1. I'm thankful for this forum because it's giving me the support I need to try again and move forward. I am filled with self disgust.

Don't give up you will get it.

I know what that's like. I have had many many day 1s. All you can do is start over again and don't be to hard on yourself. You will never be a failure as long as you keep on trying

Welcome back! Dust up that plan and get back in the saddle. You can do this!

By posting on here getting out of your head and onto the page ?

Truly a massive step in the right direction

It is always possible

Go at things again, are you doing this on sheer willpower? because if that's not working you might more support in your plan!!

Tweak things and you'll get there!!

its those relapses that show me where I don't want to be.... just keep on going... Ive had 1000 day ones and the horror which goes with them.... good news... tomorrow isn't day one if you don't want it to be:-)

the self disgust will fade

what will be your reminder, motivation, tools, support, and strategy then? What are you going to change from what you were doing before?

relapses can be blessings (provided you survive and don't hurt anyone or yourself) if you can stack on building blocks to fortify your sobriety going forward... your next block could be the one that saves you.
