But I couldn't take it.
I had to feel something.
I was 14 days without, and I forgot about my 'ice alternative'.
I feel like a failiure.
I can't believe i did it.
It was beside my wrist, 3 little nicks.
I still don't count it though...

I've said this a thousand times before on here, You don't fail until you give up. We all slip up. Recovery is never going to be instant, it takes time and effort. You had a little mess up, so what? Who is anyone to tell you that that means you've failed? You still went 14 days didn't you? If you give up because of a small mess up, then that's when you fail. Picking yourself back up and keeping going isn't the easiest thing to do, but nothing worth doing was ever easy. :)

I agree with Fiction! the only way you can recover is if you learn to celebrate your progress. You really dont fail until you give up. This time it was 14 days next time it'll be a month and itll get longer and longer until you reach the point that you truly dont need it.
