Sober day #1 (starting over). I hate relapse. Back to outpatient treatment, I go! Thankful to my LADC for calling me today. I needed to hear someone tell me not to beat myself up. I was feeling pretty low. #recoveryposse

So mad at myself. I slipped on Tuesday and have been recovering until today. It was less than I usually drink but still. I had a date and he brought alcohol. I couldn't even make it 2 weeks! I know I gotta get back up and keep going though! @RecoveryPosse

I am struggling. I have no support system. I live alone with my cat, don't go out much, no friends besides social media. A recluse. My family has either passed away or hates me. Even my own daughters. #BPDchat

Help me @RecoveryPosse It's the 1st. I have money (yes I rely on the govmt, trying to become self reliant after many years homeless.) This is usually a trigger. I'm trying with all my might not to walk to the liquor store. I'm playing the tape right now... I need encouragement!

@CKscullycat If you don't fall asleep in 20 mins, get up and do a quiet activity like read or fold clothes. Then try again. Try guided sleep meditations on Youtube. Try Benadryl. It takes a ton of sleep meds to make me sleep and even then sometimes I have insomnia. Rebound insomnia!
