Relapsing doesn't mean 'it was all for nothing'

Hey fellas

Just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck with their recovery journey & wanted to say that even though relapsing sucks for sure, the common thought that "great now these last weeks/months/years of abstaining were all for nothing" isn't true.

Your mentality is what counts in that situation. You still learned a lot about yourself and how to live. Don't hate yourself like you failed, pick up the pieces and move forward with the thought in mind that relapsing isn't worth it.

Cheers
