Smile Doing it alone

Mito, What problems are caused by "Doing it alone"- Doing it alone gives us as recovering addicts time to think-Too much time, we start thinking about old friends, what are they doing? where are they going? Should I go too. And then we start with sinking thinking, "just one won't hurt" I can quit tomorrow,I made it through yesterday I can start again tomorrow but for most of us tomorrow never comes, for what? A week, A month? Another year? When we attend meetings,and/or go to groups, our eyes are opened to a whole new world a world of not having to hide,not having to pretend, and not having to lie. Being and staying sober isn't easy i wish it were. I don't mean to sound like I'm preaching , but the only way I can make it is by prayer, fellowship,my new friends, and this site. Reading the postings here really does help because in every posting I read a bit of my self. Thank you to everyone of you here who shares so much a private part of your lives.
