Now what do I do? Do you think it's actually possible to manage moving forward from my relapse. My head is telling me yes, but I just don't feel like it in my heart that I can give the 100% I fell is necessary. Thanks for your input.

Yes, I absolutely believe it's possible to move forward from your relapse. Recovery isn't about being "perfect" - I've slipped many times on my various paths of recovery (from ED, SI and alcohol/drugs)....but each time I learned something, and I picked myself up and kept working on moving forward.

Can you think of something you learned from this episode? Maybe that you need some extra supports during the week? Or something planned for Monday - like maybe T - to help get you through that first rough day of being alone?

(((((((((((((((((((((((((( Gotham )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Don't give up. When we're just beginning our recovery, it's hard to imagine what is waiting for us down the road...we just have to have faith that it will be better than where we're at now....and then we have to keep on moving down that path, one moment at a time.
