Wishing you well.” Singer Jack Remmington wrote, “One step at a time Katie, we all support you.” Anchor Latoya Silmon commented, “Pulling for you.” Miss Val wrote, “It’s okay. You did the brave thing being honest about relapsing. You are loved so very much and have so many people on here who adore and support you. Recovery is tough but you are doing the best and you have got this x.”

Reacting to the post, one of Katie’s fans wrote, “Relapse is a part of recovery babe. Don’t be down on yourself as ling as you can learn from it, find what triggered you and work on it. I believe in you. Recovery is hard but you’re honest with yourself & us all, and standing in your truth is the most important when recovering.” To which, she responded, “Thankyou. , it’s not the end of the world I’m okay. But because I’m always an addict it’s so sad to stay again, especially after feeling so bold. Man , the greatest gifts I’ve been are this: go to a meeting.” Another fan commented, “Ok, addiction specialist here. And I’m reminding you that you aren’t starting over, not at all. I know you’ve learned a ton throughout your journey & that doesn’t go away. You learned something new now, so work on putting it into action. But always be kind & gentle to yourself!” To which she replied, “Thanks for this… yup. My sponsor said the same thing”

Other fan commented, “The important thing is that you were honest with yourself and didn’t try to rationalize it as insignificant. Best wishes on day 1 and the rest of them!” To which, she said, “Thank you sister, uggggg it’s tough , nothing epic bad, but yeah. I relapsed and it’s tough to realize that.”
