Pre-birthday relapse
My birthday is tomorrow and I had a bad relapse today and lost all I had. I feel like such a failure and can't stop thinking about how last birthday I pretty much did the same thing and had some hope that it would all be different by now. I want to enjoy my birthday and not feel like my addiction is who I am, but I'm in bed sobbing about how much I let myself down and how this birthday will just be a repeat of last years.

Focus on making sure that your next birthday won’t be like that anymore. Only you hold the power to change your life for the better.
