Hi Angie,
I'm sorry to hear yesterday was so difficult for you. I can hear in your post how hopeless it has left you feeling in terms of recovery.
I think it's important as the above poster said, to try and remember that you can recover and that slip up's do happen as part of recovery. They are incredibly distressing but it doesn't mean that you can't recover.
You did amazingly well to get to 7 months - I'm wondering what helped you in those 7 months? Could you draw on those skills at this point in time to get you through the horrible thoughts about relapse you are having?
Slip up's happen but they don't have to mean you relapse. You can get back up again and start back on the road to recovery. Personally, I have found the sooner I get back to recovering the better because if I let a slip up continue for too long it is harder to break.
Thinking of you lovely. We are here for you anytime.
Take care,
