Traetment helped me get clean, but NA helped me stay clean. I learned that the ONLY "trigger" I have is the one between my ears...it's not what people say or do that makes me want to use...it's what I think about what they say or do (self-obsession) and how it could work for me or make me feel. Once I act on those thoughts, I can't stop (compulsion)...and the root of it all is that I want to do what I want to do (self-centeredness) regardless of the consequences. Like others have already said, I had to put my blame-thrower away and look at why I was still trying to use sucessfully...when all the evidence showed I never could. Treatment is discovery, but in NA I found recovery.
