Just keep talking to people, whether it’s a group, someone who supports your sobriety, or even one of us. Just try to keep yourself present and accountable. Don’t go off into that hole, Jesse

Connection. Find something or someone supportive you connect with and hold on to it. This program is full of people who will love you until you can love yourself. I’m on day 26. It works

You can't do it alone. Try out some meetings. 90 meetings in 90 days. Good luck

Get someone at a meeting. A female. Someone real! They say men help the men women help women. If you truly want help this is the best advice I can give. Stay strong it is so hard. But you'll love yourself a little more each day

Find Narcotics Anonymous meetings in your area and attend them.
3 years clean from drugs here. Start by getting all your support from friends and family who WANT to support your sobriety, not encourage it. You have supporters here! Then come clean to your physicians. That way they know not to put you on medications that can make you abuse it. Lastly, avoid temptation cravings at all costs, but if you have a slip up, remember it as a lesson learned. Your body will let you know that because the toxins from the drugs will bring you more pain than ever before. YOU GOT THIS!!! 
Hang in there. i have 25 years and I had to start one day at a time. You can do it.

Go to meetings!!
Welcome, I’m glad you’re here and am happy to be of support
We’re here to help,, helping you helps me.. reach out anytime… really glad you’re here….
100% Jesse, Stephen's totally right here. Do not date from a meeting. It will not go well.
I've got eleven, and it's still one day at a time. Always will be.
Jesse, stay connected. Get hold of a sponsor or at least a sober friend. Talk here. If anything is hard or triggering, talk to somebody. I had a thing yesterday and Loosid friends helped me thru. Lean on us, that's how it works.

Go to Narcotics Anonymous meetings in your area. Come to the meetings early, share that you’re new, and stay after the meeting and meet people. Especially women. Women support women. Do what is suggested. Your addiction will tell you that the meetings are stupid, that you don’t need them. That you shouldn’t do what is suggested. Do the complete opposite of what your addiction tells you. As addicts we don’t want anyone telling us anything. But be new. All we know when we are new is how to use.; we don’t know anything about recovery. But if we close our mouths and open our ears, we can get in the tools necessary to succeed!
