Fear can be a great motivator... fear is 'my friend' when what I fear could materialize.
When it comes to drugs & alcohol, don't get too close to 'the edge'. Don't be around situations which could turn into a using and/or drinking situation - walk away, immediately.
Don't 'test yourself'... fear 'the test'... you don't need to take it, and you'll pass every time.
I have conversations with 'the voice'... I don't deny its presence, I don't try to shut it out. The voice ALWAYS proves itself to be irrational, ALWAYS - I just have to hear it out to realize its lies.
Just for today - protect your recovery, and let the good things happen in your life.
You deserve it.
