You've got this. Im glad you shared this and I'm impressed by your resolve. The addiction won yesterday but today is yours. Today is always yours.

You've got this. For whatever it is worth, I am totally and completely rooting for you. You're awesome. See you on the flip side TC.

Fuck man. The horror of certain failed suicide attempts kept me alive a few times last week. Resolve, maybe. But I have totally broken myself in a way with my own stupidity

Glad you failed. Glad you're still here. Get back on the horse. You've got this. I remain impressed. Think about all the times you habe succeeded, not the times you fell. You've done so much. Focus on that. We have a tendency to focus on our failures and dismiss all the hard work we have done. Resist that temptation.

You're right. But I need to learn some humility right now. That might sound weird. AA thing. AA is weird

Humility is fine. Shame is not. Resist shame.
