I relapsed and need advice
After being clean for a while i relapsed worse than ever tonight and i don't know what to do

Most importantly, are you alright? Have you applied first aid?
Something that has helped me was this:
Relapse doesn't mean failure. Relapse doesn't just magically erase all the progress that you've made. You're still trying and that's all that counts.
I cleaned it yeah,
I just feel so lost now
Hey, how do you feel? Do you want to talk more about it? Take all the time you need to express yourself if you want, you are safe here.
I relapsed too some days ago, though we all feel differently, you are not alone in this process.
You are loved and you matter, so please take the space you need and take care of yourself, if you can try to distract yourself and do something that might make you feel a bit better.
Is there anyone you can talk to? (A friend, atherapist, a caregiver?) You voice and your pain are valid, let them out, they deserve to be heard and seen.
It's okay if you feel lost, whatever you are feeling right now, even the feelings that scare you and you don't know how to name, they are all valid.
Im trying my best to keep myself distracted, and luckily I've stopped thinking about it as much but I still feel really down and lost
