Sessions don't help me. I am a closed out person
Therapy wont help if you are not honest. So ask yourself if you been honest during your sessions.
You need a new healthy hobby. Replace the using with healthy hobby. Dont like the new hobby. Try a new one.

Good morning Ashiana
I do not fight anymore. I am so grateful that I realized I already lost the fight drugs and alcohol beat me to a hopeless state of mind and body.
Today I do my best to help the second suffering addict and alcoholic.
I worked the 12 steps in my life on a daily basis I sponsor men and women and I do my best to work the spiritual principles in my life today.

I started with baby steps; What small thing can In do today to steer this ship in a slightly better direction? How can I celebrate life today, sober? It all adds up.

Work your steps
Try out different options and figure out what works for Y O U.
Meetings do not work for everyone.
If they do work, work out for you…fantastic!
There are hobbies to explore and physical exercise really does make a difference.
Now-more than ever…
There are countless books, podcasts, resources on overcoming addiction.
Take it second by second, especially in the beginning.
If that is what is required.
I could not handle thinking about remaining sober for a full day and / or even for a handful of hours in the beginning.
I made it through five to ten minutes at a time…especially when starting out…the seconds and minutes add up.
You start building up the momentum.
You can become and remain sober.
Let us know how it is going!
