Hey Family.
It's A Great Day To Be Sober/clean!
I Couldn't Sleep Last Night. My Son Called Around 2 Am And Woke Me Up And I Couldn't Go Back To Sleep. I Believe I Was Obsessing On Getting High Also?? I Remember Callling The Dope Man To My Job For A Delivery, And Then My Husband Would Pick Me Up From Work, And When It'll Be Time To Go To Bed, He Would Sleep And I Would Sneak Around The Apartment Smoking Dope, And Lay In Bed, Couldn't Sleeping Asking Myself What Happened. Thank God That Was Not The Case Last Night, I Was Laying There Just Thinking About It And I Asked God To Take Away The Obsession To Use And It Went Away, Now I'm Up Being Able To Tell You Guys About It, Anyhow, I'm Glad I Can Recognize That I Have No Control Over What I Think, But I Do Have Control Over What I Do What Those Thoughts.
Be Careful And Have A Great Day.

Thoughts are just thoughts.

I'm glad you're doing well.

Thank's for sharing. I did the same as you a long time ago.

If I remember right, it was about 90 days. I started having thoughts of using. I could not even believe these thoughts were going through my head after the mess my life was. So every day I prayed for " the want to, to go away".

It did go away and that was over 7 years ago. And yes I do believe it all starts with thoughts. But it is what you do with those thoughts that makes the difference.

"I'm Glad I Can Recognize That I Have No Control Over What I Think, But I Do Have Control Over What I Do What Those Thoughts."

Amen...! Good wisdom.

yes - it was a great gift i recieved in the first few days out of treatment.....to acknowledge the thought and then move on....if i don't feed it it goes away and when it comes back i just do it again.
