HI you dident set yourself back physically but mentaly you have destroyed yourself the guilt and shame that comes on us is overwhelming the key here is ti get involved with aftercare both N/A and A/A have free programs that work if you work them as for now pick yourself up dust yourself off and start where you left off you can get past this but what youwill learn in N/A is how to prevent it in the first place you need to change all persons places and things that remind you of using failure to do this will result in you using again it really simple you just have to change everything in your life for this to work no more partying with the guys those guys got to go you can make clean and sober friends at n/a I wish you well on your road to recovery hopefully this will bew your only slip good luck and God bless......Gnarly
I tried to come off drugs for 5 years and now I have been clean for 99 days. I had to get help. I went to a detox facility for 12 days then a six week outpatient drug education. I think you need something besides white knuckling, trust me that doesn't cut it man. It is a brain disease that will never be cured but can be in remission. I was taking,smoking,drinking everything I could get my hands on if I can stay clean anyone can stay clean ! Also turn the a** kicking machine off and please look into getting help with this or it will kill you!!
YOu did a whole week without percs......I tried it and its awful so you should totally pat yourself on the back! Dont be hard on yourself........you can do it again!!!
WRite on here often
Take care!
@monochrome73.... Look at this as a positive thing brother. Aren't you so tired of beating yourself up to hell? Us opiate addicts, thats all we do is pop pills knowing it is the wrong thing for us and we murder ourselves every single day with negativity it never ends does it? A say look at this in a good way meaning the golden question... WHAT MADE YOU RELAPSE? You see for me when I first relapsed it was simply out of boredom, so I had to fill that time. Dig deep down in you and find out why you relapsed and lets go from there. You can do this, it is not your fault my friend, its hard but you will get through all of this and you will be a stronger and wiser person with a beautiful character that emerged. Direct msg me if you want to get more personal. Good luck :)
STOP beating yourself up over your relapse, and take action!!!! You cant turn the clock back, but you sure can start over. I also had a relapse and many others on here did to, so now just take charge of yourself. Don't give up, we are talking about your life here, you can't resist because you are an addict and our brains are so powerful and trick us, and no you are not weak. Best of luck to you and remember today is a new day:)))
