I relapsed

[cookiencream]

I...relapsed. I've been clean for at least two months. I've had urges to hurt myself but never acted on it. Ig today it reached it's boiling point because I relapsed, I only did it once before breaking down crying. The disgusting thing is....I feel better now. What am I supposed to do?

It's okay. Relapsing is part of a recovering process, it may look challenging, but 2 months is a pretty long streak. What does matter is that you were willing to stay clean.
I suck at giving advises, but I guess that you should try to stay sober like you did those 2 months, maybe you will achieve a better result.

it's okay. one streak ended, a new one begins. you got this, try to last for more than two months this time. what matters isn't that you succeed or not, but it's that you make progress. and it really sounds like you are making progress, so pls dont beat yourself up. it would only make you feel worse and thats not what you need

if you've got someone trustworthy and caring in your life, i think you should tell them
