everyone handles things differently. i personally like to write poetry and i have a notebook that i keep with me called my chemical recovery notebook and when i feel down i write things in it to help me get back into the right frame of mind. i have entries in there like "things ove accomplished sober" "negative things from my drug use" ect. then some days all it takes is to look over the old entries. sometimes all you can do is close your eyes and let the tears seep as you pray for strength. just remmember the battle is inside you and the more battles you win the stronger you become.
