I see and hear in my area of so many deaths of young guys and girls. Myself I have struggled with addiction since I was 16. I know today at 65 what must be done to maintain my sobriety. After having a near death experience from fentanyl myself it was time to get serious about recovery. Had 15 years of sobriety but half did the program. Sponcer died didn’t get another one, stop going to meetings convinced myself it was okay to smoke weed. Same old story “my story”.
I’ve never ever heard of someone relapsing saying. Well I talked to my sponsor meditated , prayed and reached out to others in addiction plus went to a meeting then I got high. If that’s what it takes to stay sober each day then that’s what it’s going to take. I love the program. Its my life on most days. Some days I just want to wallow in my sorrow and refuse to give it to my higher power which I choose to call God. I love my God because it does for what I can’t do for myself. Create you one that fits your needs. Though it changes. I now lean towards Buddhism but love teaching of Christians. It’s heaven on earth and we addicts know it because we know what “he11” is.
