Hug yourself and be gentle. I'm proud that you realize it was a mistake and also what caused you to relapse. On another note, it is progress that he wants counselling, albeit marriage counselling and not with your t, but it is a step. Talk to him about your fear. I still love you and think you are very, very special.

Be easy on yourself. Realizing your triggers is the first step to finding other ways to cope when they pop up.

Leslie, today is a new day. Let yesterday stay in the past and don't be too hard on yourself. You can choose to make that just a one time slip--you don't need to get caught back up in the cycle of addiction. I think everybody occasionally wants a little bit of an escape--even people who are not addicts sometimes do it--it is very human to want to ease your pain.
It is going to be tough for you to face your relationship issues and stay in recovery. At times like that I have to redouble my focus on recovery and stay active in my recovery program. The more I focus on recovery, the less I think about abusing drugs. Do you have a plan for how you are going to stay clean?

The important thing is that you recognize your triggers. You can learn from that, and so try to have a plan for the next time you feel the same way. Don't beat yourself up about slipping. It happens to lots of peopel. Recovery is hard work. But you can always start over, and recommit to not using. Recovery is worth it.
