59 days, blew it. Again. That was a week ago. I'm still awake, gonna lose my.job, my children. As long as I stay high, those problems aren't so bigg. In reality, they will probably finish this addict in..

Welcome, ljd. You can turn this around. Stick with SR. Whatever you're feeling this morning deserves to be honored, not run from. You can do it and we can be there with you.

I would think about what thoughts were going through your head that led you to pick up again so the next time it happens, you don't pick up. You've had 59 days, you can do it again and more! Welcome to SR!

No they won't, but staying high will.

And those problems don't change in size depending on your mental state. They are what they are. If you want them to change, then get into a state where you're able to impact them. Stop minimizing yourself and start minimizing those problems.

Many people posting here have done just that.

You didn't join a recovery forum so that you could keep using. You don't need us for that. You joined here and posted because you have hope that things can be different.

They can be.
Change is possible.
Hope is reasonable.

You can do this.

You might have lost a battle but not the war.

Time so adapt your strategy to the enemy. What's the plan?

There is a way out, ljd.

Continued abstinence will allow you to tackle whatever problems you are facing.

We are here for you. Welcome to the forums.
