((((Trish))))
I know we have spoken about this before and others have mentioned it here but the only things that keep me clean sane and learning about me and how to live life are:
Talking to other addicts (daily)
Going to meetings (one a day for the 1st year or so)
Reading NA Literature
Talking to my sponsor for guidance about our program
Being of service to other addicts, I go to detox's and prisons to carry the message as well as have a place on the State committee but there are loads of things you can do like make tea greet people (I love this one)
And taliking and listening to a power greater than me (thats not God in my case)
I repeat, its the above that keeps me clean sane and learning to live life as it is. I tried talking drugs non stop for 12 years, didn't work to well, therapy (helped me understand), not using and working 18 hours a day didn't work either, drinking only didnt work it killed me spiritually, but going to NA and practising teh program works, day by day I learn and heal.
I want this for you too Trish
