From dope to alcohol?

Recovery
#1

So I've been clean off amphetamines for over a year now but have found that I'm needing a drink or two a day. In the past few weeks. I had to switch sponsors. I'm resetting my clean date but ever since I reset my clean date I still have had about a drink a day since then and I'm having a hard time figuring out why I can't quit that cold turkey like I did the dope

You are not responsible for your disease but you are responsible for your recovery

Mind altering substance is a mind altering substance is a mind altering substance. Unfortunately if you are an addict, you will just be switching one drug for another. Good luck in your recovery

It’s your addiction surfacing in another substance. Just because you might not have the dependency on alcohol right now doesn’t mean it won’t get to that point. Try a month with out alcohol. Drink water when you have cravings, or go for a walk. Part of Recovery is bringing you to awareness of how your addiction and disease can come up in different areas of your life. Shopping s3x porn etc. you already took the first step. Now take action. You got this!

Stop trying to make it a day and just take it one hour at a time. It's not a race

When I quit drinking and drugs my addiction was still alive and strong. I ate copious amounts of sugar. I drank 7 pots of coffee daily. I ran 10 miles a day etc.
The AA program with the 12 steps gave me the tools to manage my addict mind/ego.
I’m here if you want to talk
