I can tell you what it took for me to start making changes. 1.) Lose Family/ all friends 2.) Lose Job 3.) Lose health. And everything in life that requires you to be somewhat healthy to do. So basically everything.

What is left in life when you have nothing. Not much life at all. Depression, suicide thoughts. Yup I had those as well.

I understand relapses really well. I have done them before multiple times. This happens to me when I start to get complacent and stop attending meetings and working my steps.

Only way for me to keep clean is to get my butt to meetings. I have tried to do it by myself and lasted over a year, white knuckling it. But this way is easier. At least for me it is.
