feel like crap

Well I lost my clean time last night. 3 1/2 months gone, poof. It's a powerful reminder to me that I am powerless over my addiction. I'm gonna pick up a white keytag today, I don't want to give up and stop working this program. Thanks for letting me share.

Chris,

the important thing is not to give up. Takes a man to admit he made a mistake. I think, that's why so many people don't make it back.

The doors are always open.

That's the truth. Don't ever give up. I have a friend out there that won't swallow his pride and come back, even though he wants to. Welcome back Chris. You're not the first one to fall, won't be the last.

Chris,

sad thing is, we gain from your pain. If you'd have came on here posting they got a new drug like th Huey Lewis song you'd have had to take orders. I'm the most up beat person I know. Once in a while, not often I feel the blues. Feeling bad is good. Why you ask? If I never feel bad, i sure as HE!! wont appreciate the all the good days GOD gives me.

Just remember, let someone else come back in next time. You tried it and you learned by it and so did we

Thanks for the kind words everyone,

I got a taste of sobriety and I want more. If I give up and stop going to meetings and stop everything that I've done then I'm through, I might as well hang it all up. I'm going to do 90 in 90 again. I'm going to get more phone numbers and I'm going to get a Sponsor. I guess the suggestions are there for a reason huh?

Welcome back Chris. Never give up on sobriety. You may have picked up but you did not lose everything you learned in your 3 and a half months. The numbers are just a thing, it is what we do in those numbers that matter. Hang in there. Takes lots of courage to come back and you just made a huge step.

Hope

Thanks for sharing Chris. I didn't have the guts to tell when I fell. I admire you for that. Glad to hear that you aren't giving up, it sucks going back to day one. You won't be the last. Keep coming back and let us know how everything is going.

Arrow Big Guts yay!

:congrats you're back... good for you and the doors are always open.
Tip: Ego + Ego = 'separate from'
Ego - Ego = 'part of'
It was my Ego that kept me in relapse mode. Self-will run riot. That used to be me. A new pair of glasses is a good book - I learned about my ego there.

Hi Skunkape

Did you lose your clean time, or did you learn something?

All the best

Welcome back Chris, and congrats on making it back so fast. Any clues on what led up to the slip?
