Hitting bottom.Again.

Once an addict always an addict-I know this.But I'm sick of it being so damn hard all the time.Thank you to 1 very special person out there (you know who you are) that helped me see the light again.I will not allow myself to continue to be a slave to my addictions and will change the 1 thing I must."Relapse happens before you use"... was so close last night and something stopped me.I've identified the triggers and will work on those,continue bac with my NA meetings,and be more active on here than I have been last few months.Thank you to all my freinds out there....love you guys~A

The basic text of Narcotics Anonymous states that the lie is dead......We do recover if we have the ability to be Honest about our Addiction. For me this is a daily admission that My Name is Debra.....I am an addict.
Chapter 8  We Do Recover
Chapter 7 Recovery and Relapse
Two great chapters to study and apply to your daily recovery plan........
I always ask the people I work with in the rooms of NA, to Write Out What Their Program Looks Like.....
Keep comming back.....If I can help, let me know~~

That song still sends shivers down my spine as it is so true.  Yes we do all have choices and today i woke and chose not to use.  One day at a time~~~~mp

Ill mend myself before it gets me. I love that part of song, it's so true to me. We all have the choice here to get better.

"I'll mend myself before it gets me"

I have seen you fall and get back up but this is the first time i have seen some real strength and determination.  I am way WAY proud of you for working thru this and realizing what you need to do.  ALWAYS take care of you first and do whatever you have to do to stay on that road to recovery~~~~~sara

Just like your mood says..........

Rise above this:)

To my friend A.

I'm proud of you for not walking backwards.  You are right, the thought processes are put into place long before the using happens.  I am very proud of you for recognizing this to help you in the future.

It's nice to see you back.  I want success and serenity for you, nothing less,

I got chills reading this and I too am so proud of you. When someone says that they relapsed I always ask what was going on at the time or what happened right before because I know too well that the drugs are the final step in the relapse. We mentally and spiritually use before we pick up the drugs.

I am glad you saw something was wrong and made the move to prevent what was inevitable.

You are an inspiration for us. Thank you and keep up the good work, you are worth it!!

Glad you've identified what's goin on, that's very important in staying sober. Remember, there is no probelm so great that drugs and alcohol can't make worse.
