I had to quit drinking so I wouldn’t use. I don’t go to bars anymore and I’m sober for 7 1/2 months

Jump int a meeting, go for a walk, start cleaning, do some card pulls, work with crystals, phone a sober buddy

I'm with @shana153978 definitely distract your mind! However, when you are feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated by those distractions; then you know it's time to ground yourself. There are plenty of YouTube videos that explain how to. Also, learning how to identify your feelings that are associated with the trigger can begin the process of coping. A sponsor will help you through that as well :purple_heart:

I'd even go as far as to say a short stay at a treatment center? I know for myself I'd be scared to death if I relapsed again with drugs. Our lives are seriously at risk, ya know? Do whatever it takes to get back to: Recovery mode on!

I only did cocaine when I was a few drinks in but with that said I used a lot since I drank a lot :weary:. Definitely seek treatment

If I drink alcohol I’m using cocaine. That is for how it goes for me. 8 years clean and sober. People places and things
