Way to go childofchaos,

Hitting that 90 day milestone is huge.

I gave into my urge to use and relapsed on the 9th. The feelings of guilt and disappointment are strong and I'm stuck in a battle between my heart and mind. In my heart I know what needs to be done, but my mind is playing tricks on me. Ugh!

Really craving today... only thing that saved me, honestly, is the damn blue laws... I could have snuck a glass of wine or a beer earlier, at a family thing, but I knew I would get caught and then have to spend 3 hrs in the car with my mother back home... home for me has blue laws, meaning you can't buy liquor at certain times or at all on Sundays. I don't like wine, beer, or malt beverages. Purely a liquor girl. Hoping for a better day tomorrow. Also, I did self injure this evening when we got home, and had to go for medical attn... I am really getting t8red of all this crap.
