Para la persona en recuperación

Recaí esta noche. ¿Qué hago ahora?

Primero: todavía estás aquí, y estás leyendo esto. Eso importa más de lo que crees en este momento.

Una recaída no es el fin de tu recuperación. Es una noche dentro de tu recuperación. Todo lo que aprendiste, cada día que estuviste limpio, cada persona que cree en ti — nada de eso se borró hace una hora. La vergüenza en tu pecho es real, pero no te está diciendo la verdad sobre quién eres.

No decidas nada grande esta noche. No llames a las personas que te lastimaron. No te des por perdido. Haz las cosas pequeñas, aburridas y seguras de abajo, y deja que llegue la mañana.

Tres cosas que hacer en la próxima hora

  1. 1
    Ponte a salvo
    Si tomaste algo y te sientes mal — pecho, respiración, confusión — llama a emergencias ahora. No esperes a ver qué pasa.
  2. 2
    Dile a una persona
    Un padrino, un amigo, un pastor, un hermano. Un mensaje: "Recaí esta noche. Estoy bien. ¿Podemos hablar mañana?" La vergüenza se reduce en el momento en que se dice en voz alta.
  3. 3
    Haz que el mañana sea fácil
    Deshazte de lo que quede. Pon tu teléfono al otro lado del cuarto. Pon una alarma. Bebe agua. Acuéstate aunque no puedas dormir.

Una oración para ahora mismo

Dios, lo hice otra vez.

No tengo una buena oración esta noche. Tengo esta.

No me sueltes. Sé que te solté a ti por unas horas. Por favor, no hagas lo mismo.

Llévame hasta la mañana. Dame una llamada honesta que hacer. Y cuando despierte, déjame empezar de nuevo — no desde cero, desde aquí.

Amén.

"Aunque caiga, no quedará postrado, porque Jehová sostiene su mano." — Salmos 37:24
