Hello everyone, I have been a little distant and I

Hello everyone, I have been a little distant and I haven’t been on this app. I haven’t relapsed or anything. that’s not the problem just mentally going through some stuff and sometimes I get distant and I don’t reach out and that’s not good. I’ve been in the program for a while now , I’ve had my spills in the past, but I’ve actually been in a program for over eight months. It’s an outpatient program. It’s not always about using it about what else else is going on people tends to relapse because they don’t reach out. I don’t have that issue. I’ve been reaching out and I I’m building my support group. This app definitely helps. I know I haven’t reached out to a lot of people and I don’t know a lot of people on this app, but I had to express myself so everyone understands where I’m coming from. It’s one day at a time program. You can’t reinvent the wheel you can’t even try to reinvent the wheel. just have to do the step work. It’s very important to have a sponsor a support group and do the steps and I promise you everything will change. It just takes time. It’s not always easy, but it will get easier. If you do the work that I’m telling you make it a great day.
I have to say one thing if you hang out in the barbershop long enough, they say you’re gonna get a haircut. That’s definitely true. The monkey will always be on your back. Don’t let it jump on you. Keep him there, but never forget where you guys are came from, but I remember where you’re at now today’s a great day as long as you stay sober Andrew

Thanks, Andrew. Good share. I have gone through some mental stuff lately involving entitlements from my past. But I didn't realize that was what I was doing until I looked at someone else's life and almost judged them. But, then I said
"That looks familiar to what I am doing."
