It's a process man. Quitting anything and rewiring your brain doesn't always happen overnight.
Heck man I'm trying to quit smoking atm and I've smoked every day, I'm cutting back but it's not as easy as we'd like it to be.

I think replacing something with better things is also a good, I feel like changing our lifestyles so we're not in the same space we were when we wanted to do something is just as important.
Don't beat yourself up, you tried and that's a win. They'll be other wins.

@Ryannnnnn Thank you for your kind words of wisdom and support. Honestly if it wasn't for the ppl on this site, I would've relapsed completely without stopping. I'm going to be strong and accept this mistake and try again. Wish you all the best.

It's rare anyone gets it right on their first try.. even their second, or third, or fourth.
As long as you don't let that become an excuse for you or something to demotivate you then keeping that in mind really helps push you further

@ChiefWalksWith40oz I'm not and thank you for being there for me. It feels nice to have a friend that believes in me even though from afar. I want to make a comeback not just in my partner, friends and families eyes but also in life, body and spirit. I want to be free and emancipated from anything that hurts me and keeps me from living up to my true potential.
@alainc2490 SW is a good place for that. You find random ass people with completely different backgrounds but we all kinda share a lot of experiences. I'm here though man 🤙
It's understandable to want better though. You kinda get to a point where you realize how differently you could've spent your time if you weren't wasting it on one thing. You seem pretty self aware

@ChiefWalksWith40oz yeah age and experience makes you less ignorant and more open to help and change. That's y when you posted that link of those ppl on YouTube. I told myself that I would be humble and ask for help if worst came to worst to avoid ending up in a deeper rabbit hole. Pride doesn't mean anything when you are dead. So I'd rather seek help and be alive and thriving. Instead of just existing.

Sobriety isn't an all or nothing kind of thing. You used less times this year than you did last, probably less times this month than you did last. Just keep working on it day by day. It's a struggle but your life is better without the crutch of drugs.

@Lostpoet Thank you. I don't think I'm the next anything but music is a way to heal my soul. I wrote that song to help ppl who felt like the world is against them to rely on their own Inner strength and that you should never live up to anyone's expectations except your own.
I have my own addictions (cutting, anorexia, su!c!dal ideation,) so I get it. Only thing I can tell you is that you either give up, or keep fighting. For now, I choose to fight. #NotYet
