Dont beat yourself up over this.  Lesson learned.  What are you going to do differently to make sure this doesnt happen again?  Make you the No1 priority and do whatever it takes to stay clean.  You can do this!       sara

     Right, if you want to stay clean bad enough sometimes it takes relapse to show you it only gets worse.   Hang in there for give yourself and it will work out.

I just can't believe I took 1 much less 150!! Thank God I have HIM and all of you! The only thing that got me threw last time was work! I knew I had to go and for some reason it made my days better. BUT with that said this weekend coming up is our inventory :( it is a HARD LABOR weekend? 10 to 15 hours a day. Please pray I make it this time! Thanks for all the support and it's great to be back, just wish it were under better circumstances :)

It's not what you did, which is in the past, it's what you do from this moment on. All we have is the now. Your clean time is not wasted because you gained inner strength.
Addicts often have to bang their heads against the wall over and over before we realize, WIW this hurts, no more.

Clean time is never wasted, nor is it erased by a relapse . . . .

A relapse can be a huge waste.  Or, it can be the best thing that ever happened.  

My last relapse could be said to have been "bad." It came quickly on the heels of my return from a very good rehab, it was a five-month-non-stop binge that literally almost killed me, it destroyed me financially, it put "my secret" out in a very public way, on and on and on . . . as far as I could see when the dust settled, I had truly destroyed everything and emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually, I was absolutely bankrupt.

I didn't know it at the time, but that was the perfect point for me to begin recovery
