I, Adam, apologize. When tested I was weak. I made a promise, andd broke it. As I type this, I fully understand what someone once said. He was right. I am, and always will be, a failure. Legacy... you win. I will do you the honor of giving up, like you told me to so long ago. Who can honestly have faith, or believe in me, when I have no reason to believe in myself? Proof is action, and my actions show that I truly am nothing. Thank you for showing me what I am worth, I sincerely wish I had listened then, instead of hurting now.

manicman66 : Maybe I don't have a problem with alcohol or drugs or other things, but I understand well that quitting cold turkey is far easier said than done. But who got anywhere by laying in the road when they fell off the wagon? So you've broken your streak. So what? Did you manage that streak? Did you or did you not accomplish that? Everything is a series of small battles and no one wins the war. Start cutting down on frequency, then quantity. You only lose if you give up.

The problem with all this, with your failing, and whatnot, is that you don't recognize humans are going to mess up. Things go wrong. Just because you don't do something perfectly doesn't make you a failure.

Failing is setting a goal, making a mistake, and not trying every again. Failure is giving up on yourself and not believing in yourself and deciding you can't do anything or you're worthless.

Not failing is making a mistake, forgiving yourself, and getting back in the fight. Don't say, "Well, I missed up one time so I obviously can't do that."

That's silly talk.

Imagine if Michael Jordan quit because he missed a free throw? Or a programmer quit because they didn't get a line of code right. Or the Super Mario Brothers franchise stopped because Super Mario 2 is a garbage game?

The awesome thing about humanity is we can dust ourselves off, we can move forward, and we can do better next time.

Failure is stopping now because of a mistake. Get back on the horse, Manic. Let's go.

Like the previous reply before me, you will be a failure if you give up.

What you have to do is slowly but steadily clear your goals. You've gone for like 2 weeks, which is already a lot, so now aim for 3-4 weeks. This way, you'll be gaining confidence in yourself and will be able to set yourself higher goals.

Attempting all of a sudden to stop something isn't an easy step. If you don't think you have the will for that, then go at a slower pace. Just remember: you'll be on the winning side if you're the one in control. Doesn't matter how long it takes if you're the one in control, because then your life won't be affected by it and therefore you'll be winning the battle.

You will hurt us if you give up. You've given us all hope, man. You managed to get a good streak after so long, so you must keep pushing. You've been able to do it, and you'll be able to do it again. Drop by drop the puddle is made, we say around here, and you landed the first drop with this streak. Don't let it end here.

Ghostbear1111 : I agree with everything you said, except the part about SMB2 being bad. :V

manicman66 : Like ghostbear said, if someone makes a mistake here and there, it's still worth trying. Just because someone has a bad opinion on a good game doesn't mean they should stop having opinions on games, for example.

In seriousness, please try not to worry about disappointing anyone, just try to be happy with your short goals until you eventually reach your main goal. If a mistake happens along the way, just push through for yourself and everyone. No one's gonna stop believing in you just because of one or two fails.

You relapsed. It's not the end of the world, but it could be the end of your world if give up on your recovery.

As of right now, get off of the pity pot and stop shaming yourself. All you're doing is making yourself feel low, then you will want another drink, and then you'll feel ashamed - it's an endless cycle. My suggestion? ACCEPT IT. It happened. What's done is done. What you can do, is control how you're acting in this moment. 

One thing I know that's worked for many others in recovery is living "just for today". So, "Just for today, I choose not to drink". Don't worry about tomorrow, because it's not here yet - you can figure that out tomorrow. Some people will get scared by the idea of having to stay sober forever, especially in really early recovery, so this can help because the choice to go back is always there - *if* you want it. Everyday you have a choice, just remember that.
