Some people try to get clean and sober and they fail. The grip of addiction seems too great and they relapse.
I have never heard someone who relapsed express joy in their relapse.
Sometimes guilt and shame keep them from trying again. Sometimes it’s fear of being judged by others.
Getting clean and sober is personal. I got sober for myself – to save my life.
I must not be judgmental of those who are struggling. I must be there to help them find their way back.
I am only here by the Grace of God and I must not forget that.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
