76 days sober and had completely cut off and disconnected from my party network and one of my coke dealers shows up at my door tonight. I turned em away but damn it's got my stomach in knots and now I'm on a Zoom AA meeting. Scared to go backwards. Been doing so good but freaking out a little.

Well done on dealing with it and following up with action steps.

I hope you made it clear to him to please not to just show up at your door. This has to be a priority for you to tell the former so called friends that you have to sever your friendship for your own personal reasons and necessary goals. Be kind but firm. Hopefully they understand. If not, so be it. This is a must for you to succeed.

Dude, 3 words that I learned at rehab are: IDENTIFY-PLAN AHEAD. Identify situations that you might encounter and plan ahead what to do. I think you were blindsided by that and did a great job. You hang in there and jeep moving forward in a positive way to enjoy recovery!

Brother ... this is the time to go medieval. Whatever it takes. But don't bend, compromise, soften. Get to day 77, 78, 79, 80. Weather this.

Great job resisting! I would recommend, as Ramey mentioned, putting together a plan for any future occurrences like this, because they will happen. For me, I have a list of people in my phone, my sober network, people I call if I ever find myself in a situation where I may be tempted (such as seeing a former dealer). If it happens, I just start calling people on that list until one of them answers.
