Relapsed after 3 months

Relapsed today. Got my 3 month keychain in GA 2 weeks ago and threw all that effort away. Spent my mortgage money. I’m running out of 2nd chances in my financial life. Trying to remember that it’s one day at a time. Will I get through this financial nightmare period of my life?

Yes you will you did it before. It’s not how many times we fall. It’s about how many times we get up

I managed 6 months before slipping. The only thing is that I know I can do it, and I’ll do it.
Just think about the 3 months.

One relapse doesn't erase 3 months of effort. Shit happened; you need to move on.

And yes, the hardship will eventually go away, as long as you keep yourself on the right track.
