Relapse Reason?

hi.my 1'st post here.would like 2 know if in some cases .somebody relapses because of some bad exper.(death of sum1 close,partner leavin etc..} or if it's just used as an excuse 2 get f***** .i was clean 4 while 'n' sum1 close died.no clues as 2 wot happened nxt. thinkin about it i realise now that it was just an excuse2 get f***** . am i the only person with that oppinion.??? i'd bet 20 i'm not but knowin my bad luck -------i'd lose. readin thru the preview i'm actually thinkin that bobby got me thru my bad time but i'd still like 2 hear ur opins.
Not to be harsh but at the end of the day an excuse it just that an excuse. Given how deadly addiction can be there simply can not be any logical reason to return to using.

God bless.
wolf, i think u mis-understood.wot i meant was that subconciously i woz lookin 4 a reason and my mother was the perfect( or notso perfect) excuse.i hope that this time i,ll b abit smarter and think about my actions
Perhaps I wasn't clear but I was trying to agree with your assessment that you were simply looking for an excuse.

It sounds like you have made some headway realizing that.

God bless.

It all boils down to choice. I was once asked to name 5 of the most horrific things that would make me want to use drugs and after naming them I was asked how would they help the situation in ANY way. You can find 50 excuses but at the end of the day it's about the choices we make. All the best to you!

Darin is right i could sit here now and give you 100 excuses why i could use as if you want to you can think of them you just have to try and and think if the reasons you are thinking of are enough of a excuse to bring yourself back to day one of getting clean. I just try and think of all the good things in my life i know there are days when bad things happen but that is life and you have to try and be strong the death of friends is hard my friend overdosed i wanted to use then but didnt unfortunatly (sp) i then a few months later started to use again my excuse was a operation on my shoulder that was my excuse anyway it left me in pain but everday i wish that i hadnt let that excuse make me use again but at the end of the day it all boils down to choice my choice was the wrong one but i hope all other people make the right choices. It would be so simple if we all made the right choices at the right time but life just doesnt work like that it would be grate if it did we would all be perfect sorry for going on dont know what came over me hope you are all well take care sue
