That is true, we are never cured. We suffer from a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. We only have 1 day at a time to get/ and stay clean and sober. being in AA/ NA, it has taught me that I can not stay clean and sober by myself. Step 1 We, not I, admitted that we were powerless and that our lives have become unmanageable. Please know that recovery can be achieved by making meetings. Please make a meeting. After I relapsed, someone at the meeting heard me crying that I relapsed, he told me “ don’t worry, you don’t ever have to say you have one day back again”. Please know you are not alone.

As soon as I run out I'll be ready

Would you be interested in being a sponsor...?

We fall, but the important thing is that we don't quit. We are here for you. You can do it!

What I’ve seen is that people can grow, build support, and live very full lives in recovery. Even you. 🫶 Staying connected and supported makes a big difference over time. You got this

Please get a sponsor and work the steps with them, see therapy and most importantly take care of yourself.
