Caved and took pills last night... promised girlfriend there were none in the house, but I found some I forgot I had.
So back to square one with this... it sucks... I thought I was doing well but no  At least it was only the pills, not the other stuff, but still. I feel like I'm never going to get out of this addiction mess. |

have you sought out support before you used? on a regular basis? from people who would respond within a phone call?

Griffe,
Sorry you gave in. Quitting anything is hard really hard. I had to try stopping drinking numerous times before it finally stuck. The important thing is to not let this setback drag you back into wholescale using. Learn from the experience and get back on track. That's what they kept telling us when anyone relapsed, when I was in treatment. --splitimage

Griffe....maybe i'm giving the wrong advice here tho i'm sure somebody will come in and correct me if so...
...don't beat yourself up because you fell back...a new day is a new start. one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time...baby steps i call it. praise yourself for the length of time you do manage to achieve your goal, don't beat yourself up when you don't manage...the important thing is you WANT to achieve this and you're TRYING to achieve it...worth praising in my book. ....you can do it, hang in there, believe in yourself and don't give up! |

Shame is a terrible thing. It serves no one.
The only shame is in giving up. Everything you do is part of the eventual solution. Don't give up. Survive until the miracle happens. Lenny

In some ways, Day One is the BEST day.
It is the best day because it is full of potential. There is endless possibility to get better. Day one often has lots of motivation in it. |

Thanks everyone.
Looks like I'll last the day... it's almost over. Still feeling bad about last night and craving to do it again, but trying not to act on it. |
