Relapsed

I’ve been clean for about 9 years. Unfortunately, about a week ago I relapsed and took out my emotions onto my arm…. I’ve been sickened with guilt and blame ever since. Having to deal with hiding it from family or tell them and have to explain myself.


What disappoints me the most was how a little situation made me cave out of years winning internal battle with myself.


its been easy to cover the damage by wearing bandages and long sleeves. I’m scared for when warmer weather comes how can I hide my visible scars.

i think when we are trying to overcome or quit something we are all one the watch for the big things and it has always been the little things that derailed me in life....

while you may be disappointed by the relapse you can start again and move forward .... we can not guess on peoples reaction but in general when i have an issue sharing has been far more helpful in the long run.
