Been where you are twice first after 10 years...relapsed out a year, returned managed another 11, been in and out ever since. Glad you're here. meetings are my lifeline. Hope you go back asap. it is not a failure if you learn from it. Relapse prevention takes diligence and the ability to identify your warning signals. keep it close. review it often. Never forget. Your life depends on it, It gets harder every back slide. I wish you a long and creative life filled with joy, peace and love. I love sobriety. Its the greatest adventure intoxicating to the spirit. i fell down and it will be in and out 7 years able to maintain longest 1 1/2 years. Just fell. you owe it to yourself to do the next right thing, If God cannot deny you, who are you to disagree. you are still here. By the grace of God. With utmost respect.. You are not alone you have an army of millons who will stand watch with you and guide you along the way. lovingly, lali
Forgive yourself as you would your child. Remember The Fathers love. you are forgiven, and you can forgive yourself:) you are alive and well. you already know you are strong .. take care.
