i was a year and 2 months clean as of this morning but as of 10 am i threw all that hard work down the drain. the urges got too bad for me and i was in school so i didnt have all of my normal methods to help subdue the urges. I feel so guilty and now the urges are even worse than before. i have no one to confine in and i really just wish i had someone to talk to.

Do you know what triggered you? It was one slip. Do not let it over power you. You can start over tomorrow. I agree that you need someone to talk to. We will be here for you on this site. Do you have a therapist? That could really help also.

As cassichase commented it is one slip and if you can identify what triggered you that can help a huge amount. Speak with a trusted person who may be able to add to your normal methods to help you subdue and manage your urges at school.

Pick your self back up you can do it! This fight is hard, I know it is....
But it is like you have a brand new white pair of shoes and you have managed you keep them clean for soooo long (a year and 2 months) and today you stepped in mud. Do not throw the pair of shoes out, just clean them and put them back on! Your strong don't give up
