If you’re trying to stay sober… 👇

If you’re trying to stay sober while keeping numbers in your phone “just in case”, you’re already setting up your own relapse.

Let’s be clear:
:scissors: Delete the numbers.
:iphone: Change your number if you have to.
:brain: Stop trying to outsmart the addiction

You don’t owe anyone a seat in your healing if they’re still knee-deep in self-destruction.

And that includes the friend who still uses, the ex you trauma bonded with, and the dealer you used to “only call in emergencies.”

Cut the cord. That’s the emergency.

That’s right letting go of people, places, and things that could trigger us back into our old ways is paramount to a successful recovery!

Absolutely- I hated doing it, but I had to change my number, move away for a while, and realize how unhealthy all my connections. It was hard and scary- but it was the best decision ever!

Yep! I agree! Especially about blocking the ex!
