Like Danny, working the 12th step is a huge help for me when thinking of relapse often. It wasn't always that way. My 1st relapse happened also as a result so be vigilant. Do you have kids. Thinking bout them helps me a ton. Especially knowing my daughter is now in college and when she was in 10th grade I didn't even expect to live to see this day. As selfish as I can be, I d9dnt WANT to see this day due to the pain it would entail.
Only sobriety grants me a clearer head. Only sober was I able to work with my kid on her college acceptance and move her in to her dorm. Only sober do I share a relationship with both my kids and even their mom that would not otherwise be possible and I honestly never dreamed would be so good.
Calling my kids after I relapsed and overdosed was tough. It was necessary. They are a very mature 17 and 18. It was necessary to humble me and for me to realize I don't have another half dozen of those in me so I'd better figure this sh!+ out ASAP
