Post Relapse Guilt

Shame is what keeps the cycle going. Instead of focusing on the failure let’s focus on the success of you making it x amount of days/time without relapsing and knowing that if you did it before you can do it again! The path to the top of a mountain isn’t a straight slop.. there are dips and peaks on the way to the top. Even if it appears that you’re going down hill you’re still much farther than you were before you started climbing!

It’s okay brotha, it happens just aim to be better. It doesn’t happen in one day or even week, it’s a process

Just pick yourself back up.. the struggle is real.. your human. Things are gonna happen and that’s okay.. just focus on not letting it happen again.. you already relapsed so don’t beat yourself up and focus on not letting it slip again

Well, you self reported which is a good step to take and a key to fighting against shame. I’d encourage you tell a friends and/or journal about what happened that day
