Slipped after 154 days Mood
Monday, November 9, 2009 | A Frustrating story

Not much to say, just that I did it again.  I am making no more promises to anyone including myself.  All I can do is go 1 day at a time.  Thanks for all the support in the past and I hope in the future.  Sorry to let people down

    Oh sweetie, you didn't let us down. I am right were you are now. I slipped after 14 months! Take my hand and lets start this recovery again. We can do this. We can do it together and with everyone here at DS. Forgive yourself and start fresh. Peace and Love. Patty

    Hi Mary,
    I notice that your last journal entry was Oct 24.........today is Nov 09......that's about 16 days....... do you think that you might have neglected your recovery for too long a stretch of time? Did this contribute to the relapse?......just something you might wish to consider........
    I agree with gams.....pick up, dust off.....back to work.
    Huggggs

    You are here, so glad you are. All anyone has is one day, today. So, I am with you on "all I can do is go 1 day at a time." Me too. Here is a little something I heard this weekend that I thought worthy of hanging on a bathroom mirror:

    Today... "Start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can."

    {{{hugs}}} to you Seren, debs

    Deb, you are right this is worth hanging on the bathroom mirror, Mary you are just like the rest of us, we must take recovery one day at a time. Dust yourself off and start over. You can do it.
    Hugs Steph

    You have not let anyone else down. Most (if not all) of us around here have had many struggles before it finally clicks. The important thing is that you get back into your recovery. Think of this as a little speed bump....don't let it block your path. Forgive yourself and move forward...know that you are not alone in this.

    If you can do it for 154 days you can do it again for one more day and start over. We are with you.
