Relapsing
I did it again. I wanted so badly to be a whole week clean and I just had to go and mess it up. I don't even know what to do anymore. Everything in my life is just so difficult right now it feels like its the only I can turn to, to help. Everyone tells me to write down how I feel and stuff like that but it just doesn't work for me because I forget about doing that a few days later.
i feel you .. you're not alone 🫂

Welcome,
I'm sorry to hear that you relapsed again after being a whole week clean. Sometimes it can be very difficult to fight and maintain those urges, and we just give in. It's okay to make mistakes. WHen we fall, we need to learn how to get back up again and try again until we find that something works. I understand you don't know what to do anymore. You're not the only one feeling this way and in this position, I assure you. Feeling lost can be a difficult feeling to endure. I'm sorry that you feel overwhelmed right now I know how that feels and it isn't a good feeling. You're right sometimes journaling works for some people unlike other it doesn't. I just suggest keep looking for something until you find something that works. Something that will help you cope and distract you in the moment and other things that will make you feel better that are healthy coping skills. Please take care and stay safe.
Warm Regards,

@Violet226, I forget lots too.
Put it on a sticky note and somewhere visible. Or even as your phone wallpaper lock screen.
"Journal"

I understand where you are right now, I have been at that point too. I'm not sure if this will help you but this is the method that helped me the most.
