I just got a thought.....(yes, those are coming back from time to time, and once in a while they are actually coherent...)
I have no person place or thing to blame for my relapses.....
I have to take personal responsiblity for my recovery and sobriety.
A counsellor asked us in treatment when everyone was feeling like utter hell and depressed from detoxing, what would be our exuse to use again. I thought, if one of my kids died.
But in actuallity, there is no exuse knowing what I know now.
I know that some are riding through some heavy things, and my heart goes out to you.
I also just got the importance of one day at a time, and don't use no matter what.

Kerry,
Very well said. I hope and pray that I do not ever relapse again - of course I never PLANNED to relapse to start with - I dont think anyone does, but, yes everyone is responsible for their own actions, obviously.
I hope you are feeling better today - I know how it is with my kids, too - sometimes they drive me insane.
You take care.
Love,
Marie/Ellen

Hello Kerry,
Very well said. I couldn't of said it better myself. Your right there is no excuse to use again, no matter what. Once your an addict you can't go back, not even one pill. All we can do it take it one day at a time.
