I have had a whold day to reflect on my anger and blogs yesterday. I have recieved a lot of messages from the very caring people that make this site great. This does not mean I have changed my mind on how to handle relapsing. People with addictions feel a great deal of shame right at the gate. If they relapse, they are not doing "something wrong" It is a disease, a powerful, baffeling disease. We wake up every morning with 100% resolve that we won't do it again. Yet the evening comes and we are doing it again, banging our heads against the wall sobbing out where did all that resolve go. I will not leave this site. I am here for the relapser to say, you don't have to be ashamed, you did nothing wrong, just get back on the horse and try again, I will pray for you and offer compassion, love and support as are most of the people on this site. As pir8, the rest I can't remember but we all know who he is, take what you need and leave the rest.
Love to all
Connie
