I'm scared of failure I'm really scared. I want to be clean forever. Like I don't want to destroy my body anymore.

Sometimes it’s best to adjust our perspective. If we can remember that we only have the 24 hours ahead of us or even just the minute by minute of the day we can remind ourselves that it’s not forever. When I was struggling in the beginning, I used to go by the hour in order to calm myself down. Because there’s only 24 in a day and for a good chuck of those were sleeping if I can be sober when my head hits the pillow if I wake the next day, I will be sober.
Thank You I been reading most of the day things about staying clean then I found to this app. Thank You again .
Everyday that passes we get a little bit stronger. I'm 7 1/2 mos, sober I'm not nearly afraid today, as I was in the earlier mos. Don't get me wrong it's at the fore front of my mind....I just don't let myself be plagued by fear anymore. Prayer, lots of prayer

Miss, fear or afraid is False Evidence Appearing Real, fear paralysis you not to do what you need to do. Borden and loneliness are triggers, this site is good, it has testimony and you can chat and interact with a community that understands your struggles with no judgement. Get involve in your community. Do something you enjoy be knowledgeable concerning your triggers,

I agree Rosalyn. I'm my own worst enemy. How can somethin I want so bad be the hardest thing to achieve. I have the hardest time sayin "no" so I've been staying away completely but I still crave it. It scares me. And future thinking I'm gonna have this battle for the rest of my life...ugh...but they say it's not easy just worth it and the worth it I do agree. I do love living a sober life, I just have to keep that in front of my thoughts and negativity! If I can do this, ya can do this!

Wanting to be clean forever is the first step. Next step protecting your sobriety. Your body’s been through a lot, but it wants to heal and it can. Just keep showing up. That’s what counts. Proud of you

@rosalyn390776 .. It's real simple... Stop doing the 
that you're doing to destroy your body. If you're scared of failure then stop failing. You want to be "clean" forever? Then bathe yourself in sobriety. Start working on you. A 12 step program is a good start. You and do this my friend. There is a reason why we say "Just take it one day at a time". You can do this. I have faith and confidence in you.
