Best to you Raven.
Your sponsor was right about taking it easy and not trying to tackle your addictions. If you're like me......you wouldn't be able to even if you tried. I assume from your post and your blog post that you're in NA and/or AA and, if so, you'll know that part of this deal is coming to grips with the fact that you CAN'T control your addictions. That you can't avoid all the "triggers" that things are going to happen in life that you have no ability to stop......and you're just going to have to take it......... but how does that help recovery from addiction? - well, we go in search of some power, more powerful than ourselves, to get that strength from.
Keep your head up but keep things in perspective. Maybe you can't really control what meds you need to be on and maybe on your own, once you start, you'll be hooked again........that's why you need some power from something more powerful than you.....ya know?
Hang in there and don't get toooooo worried about the future. Who knows WHAT will come, right?
