Be it self-harm, an eating disorder, alcohol, or any other form of relapse- it happens. Recovery is not this straight line up towards progress. It’s a twisty-turvy trail full of roundabouts, hills, valleys… relapses happen, and it doesn’t erase the progress you’ve made. All the things you accomplished are still just as incredible and wonderful, and you’re still on your way to recovery. Forgive yourself, and tomorrow you can look forward and try again.

If you’re reading this, you survived today.
You did it.
Maybe you thought you couldn’t, or that you wouldn’t last one more day, but you did it.
You’re right here, reading this, and I am so unbelievably proud of you.
Take it one day at a time, friend. I believe in you, and I believe you can survive.
