Trying not to relapse

I have a bad habit of self harm. I punch myself. Usually in my face. I’ve broken bones before. Usually it’s due to stress and just losing control. I’ve been pretty good lately. But some recent things have got me really wanting to just punish myself. I’m hoping I can avoid it because I really don’t wanna hurt myself again but I’m just so pissed at myself.

I relapsed and I feel so isolated.

I am so scared. I don’t want to tell my family or friends. I don’t know how to stay sober. I need help.

Secrets have kept me sick EVERY OTHER TIME and I just can’t burn my life down again. I relapsed though and have no one IRL to talk to without getting fucked over with consequences. Please help.

Things are gonna fall apart inevitably if I just hide it until I can’t anymore and then talk to someone. I finally built my life back a little bit - not a whole lot - but I have something to lose this time and ugh I’m just stuck between pride/confidence/fear. DM me if u can think u can help talk to me or just give me ideas. I have no reason to be accountable right now since my drug testing isn’t happening. I’ve never had this freedom or “hall pass” since I started trying to get clean in 2012. Yikes.

Thought I was over it...

I used to go around and whore myself out online for attention. I did it for 6-7 years. I got taken advantage of during that time, but I also met someone that inspired me to stop. He became my BF and because he gave me the attention I craved, I stopped doing it. I didn’t have to sext, send dirty pics, anything like that unless I wanted to. Strangers were no longer able to see my naked body.

....turns out he cheated on me. I left him and that attention is gone again. I want it back and I am tempted beyond belief to do it again. It’s not healthy for me, but I just feel unwanted, ugly, and abandoned. I just don’t know what to do. I don’t want to break, but I want that attention again.

(If I used the wrong category, please tell me.)

Moved cities, left my support system behind

Really trying to resist the urge to cut again, it's been about 3ish months and I don't want to go backwards but I'm struggling after having moved back to my hometown and leaving my friends (& my support system for the last year and a half) behind.

Cocaine relapse

I need some motivation to not to relapse again. All I can think about is my holiday party in a couple of days and how hard it is going to be not pick up or take some when offered (which is guaranteed). I keep thinking if it’s offered it’s not bad as long as I don’t go pick up the next day and have a week binge.. (will happen) but like to think it won’t.

watching relapse

Hi everyone, Someone very close to me decided to stop opioids cold turkey. He was doing pretty good for a little over 100 days. Now he has relapsed and I am trying to be supportive, but Im a little disappointed. I know its not fair. I haven't told him how I feel and I don't plan on it. I just don't know how to help him along. Any suggestions to help him and motivate him again? Any suggestions for him for help? He seems to really want to quit, but his life is very stressful with work/family/life. I don't think that will go down any time soon. Please help

I am goig on spring break in 9 days and I'm afraid I won't have any libido when I am there. any suggestions/ thoughys?
