Relapsed after 1 month clean. Back at day 3 sober

I definitely feel ashamed and really wish I didn't take those hits that led to a week and a half bender smoking black.
it sucks going thru detox again but I'm working my way thru it one day at a time. I surely feel better than day 1 or 2. Less symptomatic and bit better energy. Grateful for support with a sober friend of mine.
felt it was necessary to cop to my transgressions on this site. Can't wait to get that week 1 under my belt or better yet 1 Month and head off to mamoth with the love of my life. Goals

You're back with more determination. I had a couple of false starts, but I now have 10 yrs. sober. You can do it, Surf. Congrats on your 3 days. Glad you made it back.

Gotta stay 100% absentince from opiates. I remember how ****** I felt when I ruined my 4 week stretch of sobriety, I was so mad at myself, so it turned into a bender.
I dunno honestly I am going to try and have the same approach, last time was much harder however this time I'm don't feel as determined or optimistic. I don't have much pride until I get that 1 month mark back under my belt

I dunno. I didn't pick up or get high today so I should take that as a victory, I know it will get easier but I feel like such a fool for throwing away all my progress, I actually felt good and normal with just 1 month sober

I am going to try and have the same approach,
I'm not trying to argue but I tried trying a lot of times.
I kept finding myself in situations or with feelings that led me to relapse again.

I think for change to happen we have to make changes.

I have no idea how you came to take those hits or smoke that black, but you must have made choices to get to that.

Making different choices next time seems to me a great idea?

I hear your concern and really appreciate it. What I mean is the same attitude and approach toward my recovery. I was talking about it, I was posting. I was keeping active, I was making small positive choices.
that's what I need to do and where my heads needs to be at. I also have a good support system. When that fell thru, I slipled up.
. I néed to keep talking about it and checking myself each week not just for the first few
