Hey all,
I had a slip recently but am still committed to recovery. Just staying encouraged and going to continue to be accountable for my behavior.
Though things are certainly better than they were when I first began this journal, and I wanted to be honest about what was going on. I'm confident I'll be back where I was at in no time.
Here's to a weekend of freedom and renewal.

Thanks soberwolf,
Dee, I'm not really sure. For my recovery, I've mostly just been using this forum as a way to help - reading people's stories on addiction, how it affected their loved ones, and taking advice from them. I started going here less when my slip/relapse happened, so I'm going to start regularly visiting again.
Starting with day 1 again today. I'm recommitting to recovery that lasts the entirety of my life.

Thanks for the link, Dee. I'm going to use that advice to help me in my recovery.
I'm back to day 5 again. I don't want to spend the rest of my life chronically relapsing. I'm not going to dwell on the circumstances which were affecting my emotions before. I accept responsibility for what I did and am moving on, changing my ways.
Hope you're having a good week. I always appreciate the support from everyone here.
Take care!

Hope everyone is doing well.
Still going strong here - glad to be doing so. I was glad to get an opportunity to see my family over the long weekend. It really made me happy being with them and enjoying sobriety.
Take care, all.

Just posting to let everyone know I'm well. Things are good in life, despite some work stress. I've been looking at other jobs recently and thinking about grad school.
The most important thing is that everything is stable now, which is a true blessing. Getting sober was a decision I never regret and I'm ever thankful to have such a supportive group of people to rely on. Thanks to you all, I'm truly appreciative of your support.
Things are going to be okay.

Still here,
Lately, temptations have been really strong (probably due to job-related stresses), so I want to start posting a bit more regularly. I've been reading some materials on recovery plans and I think it's a really good idea to have some fallback behaviors to deal with life situations. Being here and reading is one for me, so here you go.

It's been a while since I posted here. Back to day 1 for me, unfortunately.
I just wanted to be honest and say that I had a bad relapse but am back. I'm really sorry for disappearing like that, I guess I just felt ashamed to face people after messing up again.
I do want to be responsible and take my recovery seriously though. I'm going to be doing a lot of moving this week for my new job, so I may not have opportunities to post. I will make an effort to be on this forum and take in as much information as I can about recovery plans though.
Thanks for everyone's help and encouragement, I know we're going to be get through our addictions together.
