Before You Quit...

If You Messed Up This Week, Read This Before You Quit

If you’re ending this week thinking…

“I blew it again.”

“I had a good streak, and then I messed up.”

“I’m back at square one.”

I used to get so discouraged after a slip and give up thinking I failed again.

Please hear this:

You are not a failure.

And you don’t have to quit.

Shame loves the moment you want to quit — when those thoughts start saying:

“You’ll never change.”

“You’re too weak.”

“God must be disappointed in you.”

But that’s not God’s voice.

📖 “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)

Here’s what to do instead of quitting:

✅ Tell the truth (no excuses, no shame)

✅ Ask: “What was I really needing in that moment?”

✅ Take the next right step — not the perfect step

Recovery isn’t about perfection.

It’s about abstinence, community, reliance on God, and daily spiritual growth.

If today is hard: don’t restart your whole life.

Just take the next right step.

💛 You’re not alone.
