#Relapse tw

[uncanny-tranny]

We need to stop stigmatized relapses in recovery. We need to stop shaming those who have or are currently relapsed. It is a normal part of recovery to go back to the behaviour at times, and I'm sick of the idea that "relapse means you aren't recovering."

Relapsing can reinforce somebody's will to recovery. Relapsing can teach a person what they want from recovery. It can be a vital tool, and honestly, shaming somebody who is already down is fucking cruel and disgusting. The last thing they need is other people shaming them and being cruel - they might already be beating themself up over a relapse. Be kind to them. They are a person, they are worthy of kindness.

relapsing always seems easier

do you ever think about the possibility of beard relapsing while in ted's care, and beard's immediate response is wanting to leave, wanting to save ted from himself. waking up in the hospital, a terrifying place to him, and he expects to be alone and...god. ted is right there. asleep in the hard, plastic chair but...he's there. and when he wakes up, he doesn't give beard the "i want you to find someplace else to stay" speech that beard's been dreading, but instead tells him that the doctor recommended a good rehab program close by, he and michelle have been talking about it, it's a good place, they'd come visit- holding his hand as he makes it clear to beard that he's not gonna give up on him..........................hm

Hanekoma's body trembled in waves as he came to the couch where Mahia sat and curled up on the end of it. Sweat beaded over his skin, and instead of looking at Mahia he stared out over the width of the sitting room with eyes covered in a film of unshed tears.

"N-no, sorry..." He breathed the words between labored panting, "I jus'-- uuuhh... I-I-I-I-- fuck... Mm... Jus' did something I shouldn'a done. 'M okay just-- I just need a second."

He wasn't sure how it had happened, really. Pachinko parlors was the closest he ever got to gambling these days, or playing the arcade games around town, but today something had gone very wrong. A group of thugs (and he knew they were thugs, he knew it!) had approached him inside the pachinko parlor and offered to make more private, and more lucrative, bets. Despite knowing what a scam this was, he'd allowed his darker urges to get the better of him and followed them out into the street.

For the first time in years he had gotten a chance to play proper street craps, had allowed his soul soar with the excitement of each roll of the dice. He'd felt himself falling into a frenzy, slowly losing every ounce of hard cash he had on him. When he'd run out and was being threatened by those thugs, it wasn't a problem. He had no issue running them off and really hadn't been hurt at all, but standing in the aftermath of all that had hit him in a way he just couldn't handle.

Feverishly he'd sprinted back to his home, and though he was panting hard it wasn't from running. He was deeply shaken by his own actions, and his own lack of control when given the chance to break his own creeds. Now having reached his home, he was shaking and frightened of himself, and he was so severely disappointed in himself.

"I'm sorry..."

{ don't be an IDIOT. } negative self-talk wasn't the most positive of tools -- definitely not the sort of coping strategy that near-sighted therapists pitch in the home stretch of rehab. but if she was being honest with herself, it was the only way she knew how to keep the YEARNING at bay. { don't be a FUCK UP, it's been 6 MONTHS. }

FUCKING BLITZ.

if he hasn't come along on some VALIENT mission to -- what ?? rekindle their relationship from the long-tepid mount of proverbial ashes ?? AS IF. now she was hard-up for work, and without some semblance of routine there was no WAY barbie could hope to keep her place in the halfway accommodations -- and then where would she be ?? { it was one thing to be sober inside, but out on the streets ? an ENTIRELY different moral struggle. }

the uncertainty is threatening to drive the imp right back to the BEST source of stress management she knows -- it would be so easy to wander out into the alleys, the next fix was always closer than the average denizen might realize.

in a last-ditch attempt to corral herself, barbie ACTUALLY takes some of that advice from her counselor. { CALL SOMEONE YOU TRUST. } and there's only one option in that department, only one who wouldn't encourage that destructive method of self-soothing.

the number is already on speed dial. { it rings longer than she expects, actually. }

" HEY fizz -- what're ya up to ? "

The greatest thing about recovery from relapse is your brain doing this after every day you've gone without doing The Thing:

Your art is awesome this is the second time I'm relapsing to it

Hi anon,

Things must be hard for you right now and I'm sorry to hear that it ended in a relapse. I'm honestly a little confused about this message, it brought up many questions that I won't bother you with, since you have a lot going on rn - or at least that's what it sounds like. I do wonder why you felt the need to tell me this. Because you know there's nothing I can do about it. I never meant to do you any harm...

I know how much it sucks to be hurt, by life or by other people. And I know that this pain can come with a lot of anger and that sometimes it helps a little to blow off steam somewhere. I hope that you got some relief by sending me this message. If not, I hope you were able to find another healthy way to cope.

My art can be triggering to some, I'm aware of that. I actually answered another ask about this a while back and I wanted to give you the chance to read my answer to that in case you're interested.

Here is the other ask.

I hope you're well anon. Don't be afraid to reach out for help. Take care You matter!

i hate that healing is not linear cause i’d be feeling all positive and shit for a while then boom sad sad sad again and why does it feel good to be here why is it so comforting why does it feel like this is who i am and who i was always meant to be just a dumb girl who does not know how to deal w sadness in a healthy way and always end up relapsing and doesn’t even feel guilty about it. is it the familiarity of it all. is it the fact that i’m so used to this sadness that the second i get a taste of it i want more and more and stay here forever because it’s so familiar and painfully welcoming. why why why

Reminder for myself when I will do something very silly and stupid (like cutting myself, drinking alcohol etc.):

"Lexi I don't know what to do. I'm not feeling well and I just I fucked up and used drugs again .I'm sorry .where are you ?"

Lexi answered her phone, hearing Nate and listening to everything he was saying on the other end. The first thing that was on her mind was, "What triggered you to use?" It wasn't that he used that she was most concerned about it, it was what could have happened for him to relapse. "What did you take? You have to be careful using after you have been sober, Nate, you won't have the high tolerance and could overdose easier. Where are you? Please don't do anymore than you already have, because you have been sober and it could be really dangerous." Her voice was calm and to the point, but she was worried and anxious to just get to him she to see what condition he was in.

save me bruce save me (I AM NOT GOING TO RELAPSE AGAIN🔥🔥🔥🔥)

[thecoolestlosers]

Updates hhhhhhh

So things were going rlly good for a while there but then I was like hhhhhhh not feeling this anymore

I relapsed and I dont see myself getting sober

I have been oddly honest with the people around me I came to my mom quickly (like within an hour or two) and was like “I’m high” and when asked about getting sober I just say I won’t because I am not going to keep up with a lie like that

My bf broke up with me bc I told him I don’t want to get better ,,,,, I get why he did it and it hasn’t really settled in yet ,,,,, I woke up and forgot for a moment

Wanting to isolate again just going back to wanting to do nothing but write do nothing and get high

I think I am just coming to terms with the understanding that I don’t want to get better end of story like at this point I am this way because I want to be so I’m riding it out

Should I reread the beardtedroy relapse fic. should I do that.
