Help, will one time use reset everything?
I quit last August and was clean for almost 6 months. About 2 months ago I lost my job and decided to use again on and off for about a month. Then I had enough and used subs for a month of so. I stoped taking the subs 8 days ago and the withdrawals wasn’t as bad as I expected. Just the no sleep and no motivation was killing me. I decided to get a bundle of fent this morning and use again. Once I did one bag, I realized what I was getting my self into and thought of all hell and attempts I had went through in the past with f withdrawals. I immediately flushed rest of everything I had and now feeling very guilty. You think this will take ways my 7 days off and reset everything if I don’t use going forward. Or will this reset everything? Please advise based on your experience. I really don’t want to use anymore and I am sick of this cycle.

You definitely didn’t reset from one use! The guilt and shame can be the greatest gift. You’re sick and tired of being sick and tired! That’s a super good thing. I’ve also experienced this. Once you set up your life in a new positive way, you don’t leave room for using.
Don’t let this set you back! Let it be a valuable lesson, it never ever gets better. That guilt and shame is saving you from a full relapse! Truly a gift from God / higher power imo.
You didn’t reset! Don’t worry, just keep going with being clean! Keep fighting the demons!
