8.months clean and then this. So disappointed and sad. Will this ever leave me.
@mast2021 Hiya. I am in much the same situation though I only did 3 months clean.
I am determined to look at how it happened and come back stronger though.
Have you looked into how it happened? Knowledge is power.
I am sure we can beat it!
