Letting myself down again

Hey everyone. I'm new around here. I'm very nervous but I think it's time to share.

So from a young age I've been struggling with severe mental health issues and diagnosed with multiple disorders.

Unfortunately, a few years ago I started using drugs and I consider myself an addict.

Today I'm 9 days clean but today was also a very hard day in every aspect so I get out of work and went using drugs again and I end up letting myself down.

I don't know what more I can do. If somebody can help me as in words, advices, tips, anything...

Thank you all for reading and letting me share.

@vHS24

In getting off drugs / stop drinking/ or anything else we do it is one day at a time.... and yes there will be days when we struggle and have set backs .... many will not even acknowledge those set backs....

So you are aware and admit your stumble....... so you are ahead of many in similar situations.  you did 9 days and you can beat that streak .... when you have a day that you may stumble you may find other ways to deal with the stress or whatever compels you to think drugs will help.
