I decided to go away for a 3 day trip on a farm away from the world. It was all going so well it is just me and my dog. On the third day the loneliness from the solitude hit me hard. I was doing so well journaling walking exercises cooking. But on the third day I just fell and couldn’t hold off which was disappointing because this trip was supposed to be my detox from the world and it was my downfall after 6 days clean. Not all bad though I have learned allot from this trip and realised how much energy, time and money I really am putting toward people that don’t deserve it or aren’t reciprocating it. It was just a bit disappointing but I have to accept it and move forward.
From my perspective, you did a great effort and reflecting about it helps you to recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Its normal to relapse, you can try again and again until you finally reach your detox goal. Keep your head up, I know you’re doing absolutely great.
