You CAN do this....a lot of us have fallen off the wagon,myself included.I was clean for over 300 days and 1 stupid moment...stop beating yourself up (took me a loong time to do that!) and get back on track.We're here for you always.Stay strong and keep your guard up always.Start back with NA and stick with it as GA stated.A sponsor is a must as welll.Good luck to you&keep us posted.~Anne

Hey man. I just read your message you sent and tried to respond back, but it wouldn't let me, maybe your settings on here don't allow messages? You will be ok, just fight hard for this and don't give up. Best of luck in your recovery.

I think checking out a meeting would be a great idea. As long as you learned from this relapse it was not a waste. It *****, but it took me many times to get it right and do something different so I stopped that horrible cycle. Most of us can't do this alone.

What were you taking? Get back up and get that clean time back:) Keep posting, we are here to support each other.

Yes, I have a suggestion.  Get back on, and MOVE ON!  Don't let this disable you.  Just do something different.  My husband, who sponsors some men in AA says, "don't drink or use even if your A$$ falls off!"  That's pretty drastic!! : )  But it's true.  

You need someone to be accountable to.  Like a sponsor.  Like GA said, go get a sponsor.  Not a sweetie pie one....One that makes you work steps and call everyday.  That is what I needed.  Someone who wouldn't take my crap and excuses!

Get thru this and learn from it!  You can do this.  Gotta want it more than anything.  

Anything you put before your sobriety, you may lose!

If you're receptive to meetings then my best advice is 90 meetings in 90 days, get some phone numbers, get a sponsor ASAP, and use them all.
