Relapse

Hi all.....well, we BOTH relapsed. As some of you know,my other half, "tomskat", got me onto this site. I was foolish and thought that my addiction was "cured" with suboxone.As soon as I stopped however there I was back on the pills.Today was my 1st day back on the suboxone and I will pick myself back up again and start over.
My girl on the other hand is not too good. She had posted that she was clean from coke for over several months now.That all came to an end this weekend.There were a few triggers,and added to the fact she was in the wrong place at the wrong time,she relapsed and is having a hard time accepting it this time around.She had relapsed before and always seemed to be able to pick herself up and move on,but this time not so much.I know she feels as if she let some of her friends here down and I think that is the hardest part for her.As for myself,I start over knowing that this addiction will need a constant focus,like she would tell me,"keep your guard up.",and for good reason.In a moment of weakness,it can happen.Thank you all for being here,no matter when we need you all.-

I am really sorry to read this hunter but you have a good attitude about getting back up again.  I am not trying to ignore you here but i want to talk with tomskat so i hope she will read this,  Listen up girl, you didnt let any of us down here, you let yourself down.  Come back on here and talk to us or me.  I am still here and i care about you.  You can get back up and move forward.  I know you have it in you.  I will be waiting to hear from you~~~
