The built-in forgetter.
When we look at our past, when tempted to take a drink or use substances, we think of the relief it will bring. Sadly, too many of us forget the negative things that have happened when we have used in the past.
We have a built-in forgetter.
Our built-in forgetter gives us no protection from the next drink or drug. If we are not working a spiritual program of recovery and have not built a sober network to reach out to, more often than not, we use again.
This is why it is so important to build a sober support system around you.
One great way to eliminate the built-in forgetter is to do the following:
Take a sheet of paper or write on your phone all the bad things that have happened when you have used alcohol or drugs.
If you are fearless and thorough your list may be quite long.
On the bottom of your list, write down the names and numbers of your support network.
Any time you think about picking up that drink or that drug, pull out that list and read it.
Then call your support network. It will most likely save your life.
