If your substance knocked on the door RIGHT NOW
If your substance knocked on the door RIGHT NOW
If someone knocked on your door right now and offered a large quantity of your preferred substance for free, what would you do? Give it some thought.
Would you have the strength to say no?
Or
Is your resolve dependent on avoidance?
I'm 4 days out of a relapse and I personally have no idea how I'd do. I think about it one second and it's an emphatic NO! Then the next it's a "well...". The more I'm thinking about it though, the stronger I'm feeling about the former.

As a user and drinker I often thought I would not have the strength if that happened - and it used to on a regular basis.
But...I'm not the same guy I used to be, and I have a life I love now .
I'd have no hesitation in saying a very firm no.

I need more growth in recovery before I'd make it through an invitation like that. But such a thing wouldn't happen in a billion years in my life. As far as the crack
The alcohol could and will happen and so could weed possible. All I can do is renew my commitment each day to have a chance in those two cases.

I don't answer my door. Period. Especially
if I don't know them personally. I use my
peep hole and never have to answer my
door if I chose not to.
The devil is always lurking, waiting patiently
for that perfect time to knock at the door or
ring the phone with a bag full of poison and
evil in his mind.

I forgot to mention that one of the titles for the book I dream of writing was; Cop-blockers and Bellringers, as I used to live in a self-made crack house/apartment biulding.
The doorbell was becoming as much a trigger as a twenty dollar bill. Coincidently I have not had a doorbell since then, but I do have twenty dollar bills...God is good.
Be well,

I've actually had someone at a previous job offer me crack. As Larry said, I just thought BTDT, no thanks and told him to NEVER even think about offering me anything again.
Got paid, cash, yesterday. Briefly thought about how, used to be, I'd be on a crack binge until it was gone, it would be short binge and I'd hate myself like I did when I relapsed.
Felt MUCH better to pay on some bills and go to the grocery store.
Hugs and prayers,

no way in hell. At 11 months, I'm still struggling to find something that helps
my back. Can get really down at moments when pain gets to me.
Always seeking something that will help my quality of life. Next stop, injections
in the spine. *praying*
Wouldn't take a script that was offered and they have been. I just cannot
stand to go back into the world of pain pills and everything they represent to me.

Great vid Timebuster! You may have just saved a soul with that
Great responses.
Day 6 out and now it's definitely a NO for me. I feel like sleep-deprived scattered baloney and have started to finally identify it with the drug.. so the idea of more makes me feel sick. I'll need to think about he question again in a couple of weeks.
