Glad to see you’re rarely down on yourself about this journey, brother. Always good to see the humorous side of things. I have much to learn from your perspective; one relapse usually destroys my mood for a good 2 weeks.
@Special_Bird Sorry for what you’re going through brother. I think this post could help you:
@Mazerunner Very well said brother! @Karan050 Great bounce back from the relapse man, keep going!
@weir Time to rise again bro!
Today I had a wake up call from a companion.
The brother was asking what people are honestly doing to prevent relapses and truly live a life of freedom. He said that we know we will feel bad afterwards but we still continue to go back. We come back to the community and share all these negative stories about how upset we are at relapsing and how great success would feel, but we don’t do anything concrete to change our behaviour. He has passed 500+ days and enjoying a life of freedom, and he’s surprised that no one is even messaging him to ask how they can achieve the same results. To my shame, I haven’t messaged him either to seek advice.
I could see that my words are inconsistent with my actions. I keep saying how badly I want to be free of this, but I’m not taking the positive actions to change and improve. I’m not even doing what helped me achieve some success before.
It’s time for real change.
Today was free and clean, thank GOD!
