I would like a sponser but wont ask because the first thing to do is the steps. I do exercise, drink water, take vitamins, get 8 hours sleep. I dont read enough on recovery, meditate or have relaxation techniques, keep a sobriety journal or make gratitude lists so i will try to implement these to step up the plan and hopefully help me reflect on what i need to do.
Dee's link is wonderful.

I might suggest trying to work the steps using the AA group or even SR as a whole as your higher power. It's worked for a lot of others.

Wishing you the best today. I think you've made a wise step forward in just coming on here and admitting your struggles. I know you've helped keep me sober today, so thank you for that.
