so i was stuck in Burlington all last week i got home thursday night. i was freakin out all week about my job. i didnt want to lose it. on wendsday night i relapsed. i drank. i figured that drinking use to get my mind off of everything so i drank. i forgot about everything and it was fun but then everyone freaked out so it didnt turn out so well. i realized why i dont want to drink anymore. i am upset about it but i was even more upset when i was trying to figure out how to tell mom and dad. the other night i finally told them and i felt more releved. i called rb and he told me he was proud that i came clean and told my parents and him because being honest about that is not easy. but now i am 5 days clean so i hope i can stay strong.

Hey Sam. The good news is that your relapse only lasted one night and you realized right away that it was a bad choice. It gave you another opportunity to see that your mom and dad want what's best for you--for you to be healthy and happy.

We all struggle with things that aren't good for us. It's even harder when we are surrounded by people who are making bad choices. It's ever so much easier to give in to temptation then.

I love you, as always, Sam. You sure have come a long way this year. I'm proud of you that you were honest with yourself and with your family. We support you! Love, Aunt Kathy

Sam, I am with Aunt Kathy. The fact that you were honest with those you needed to be onest with says that you have matured a great deal.

You made a mistake, we all do.
I eat food that is bad for me, and though there maybe some concern, no one puts me down for it. I can not put you down either.

I love you, plain and simple. :)

Sam,
you know that Dad and I support you, and for you to come to us face to face and tell us what happened is indeed a very big step for you!
We love you and pray for you every day!

SAMBALAM! Don't be upset that you relapsed...relapsing can make a person stronger in their next round. You need to look at where you are in your life and if there is any thing there that could have made relapsing more "available" so to speak... Most people need a relapse to get it right....like I've said to you a hundred times, Your strong, and you can do it. Take this as a learning experience, and go with it. It's a crappy feeling, but don't get stuck feeling that way because then you're never going to get out of it...If you need anything, I'm here! I've also been in situations where relapsing sounded good...and I changed whatever it was that made me think that way. So anyways, I'm proud you came clean, and I love you, and don't be such a stranger!!!
