My friend has left treatment and relapsed. I’m thinking about how going to get high with her would make it “easier” for me to use. I’m a bit bored and stressed in my current circumstances although I’m also very grateful at the same time. I’ve called my sponsor and reached out to people. I’ve been to a meeting and shared. I’ve started on my second step. I’ve prayed. Any suggestions or words of encouragement? I need some experience, strength, and hope right now. Thank you.

Having never exposed another to drinking or drugs, I really can't fathom encouraging someone in recovery to fall off. They may be the one to help you to pull through...and think of the others they might encourage with their story. Jus sayin.

I would try to be the stronger one, if she's fresh outta treatment she/ he might be easier swayed to go lunch/meeting. Trying to make it easier to use sounds like when addiction is thinking and we need to be brought back to "sanity" I hope you can hit that pillow sober/clean tonight and tomorrow night.

Feeling torn is real, but remember why you started. You deserve peace, not another cycle of regret. Stay close to those who remind you of that. Keep posting and connecting with other here. You got this.
