Congratulations on ur 19 months clean...my suggestions for u

  1. Do u have a sponsor if you don't get one
  2. Hit a meeting in ur area
  3. Get a phone list from the meeting and use that list call people.
  4. Pen to paper what does Intel's is you're putting your feelings your emotions on paper you're taking that power away meaning you're not letting your feelings or the drugs on your mind have the power ur getting it out it will lose its power once on paper and what I used to do is I would burn that piece of paper that action into doing that it's letting it go and if that doesn't work..
  5. Find ur higher power whether it be God whether it be just pushing through to tomorrow of staying clean you're basically setting yourself up for a goal if that makes sense.
  6. Don't be afraid to reach out to people in recovery because u are not alone.
  7. Remember to be gentle with yourself give yourself Grace and know that you matter and that it's okay to feel what you feel and that it will pass.

Some days seem longer you seem to know what you need I think there’s gonna come that day that it will be a memory but you have to just keep going talking about it like your doing if that is what seems to work and you get another day down then your doing it don’t give up :heart::pray:t3:

Is there anything you need to talk about that I can chat with you about? Like why you feel like using?

#32

I feel like it stems from stress and overthinking

#33

That can do it. Do you have any stress coping methods you use when you get this way?
