Hey, as long as you are alive, there is hope. You can start again. I have relapsed over and over since I was 14 years old. My last relapse lasted almost a decade and I am grateful to have survived. Do not beat yourself up. There is only today. Hang in there. You are not alone. Many of us have tried, picked back up, gotten sober only to relapse again. This disease is "cunning, baffling and powerful" as the AA Big Book states. Just for today!!! Just the fact that you reached out is YOU, the stronger part of YOU.

You are not different, this is so very true of so many of us. It's not what happen to us or what we do to ourselves, it is how we handle it. You will definitely get it together. Believe it or not you are not unique, you deserve a life of sobriety. Sure, it is very difficult in the beginning. Perhaps a Sponsor can help you to go thru the steps and the Big Book. We need you.
