Ugh. Not again.

I was about 3 weeks clean....then I used again. I can't believe I did. I got enough to last me a month and in my head I said, one day and I'll be fine. Nope. I used all of them in a week. So here I am again. Just finishing day one, took my last one last night at 8pm.  I'm so ashamed. I thought I had the right mind set and I lost it.

As Scarlett O'Hara says, "Tomorrow is another day." So start fresh and don't be hard on yourself. What happened when you were a baby learning to walk? You fell. A lot. Did it stop you? No.
I rest my case.

That just goes to show you that one is too many and 1000 is never enough.
Hang in there. Tomorrow is day 2.

Try not to be so hard on yourself, it is done and over now.  Turn the negative into the positive and think about what you can do differently this time.  You never fail as long as you keep trying~~sara
