Hi Dan, I’m gutted for you, but I totally agree with Debc, please don’t beat yourself up about it!
We all know that with people in recovery, every day is a battle.
I told you how well my son was doing…almost 6 months clean, sponsor, 12 steps done, mentoring starting….then , he had a date, thought he could handle a few drinks…and you know the rest!
Relapses are part of the recovery process Dan. I understand how you are feeling just now, my son was the same, no one was more disappointed than himself.
But he got a fright after the last bout of drinking, so after he’d sobered up and rested, he’s trying hard again and is doing well atm. While he’s trying hard, it makes it easier for me to support him.
As Debc says, take each hour, each day at a time and do whatever you have to do to get back to where you were. No one judges you here, we’re all proud of you and the way you support the forum.
Enjoy the nice sunny weekend and stay positive, your family will come round when they know you’re trying.
Stay strong, keep the faith
I’ll keep you in my prayers ????
Sending hugs ❤️
