Have you tried meditation or breathing exercises sometimes going for a walk really helps

Stay firm and stay focused Laura...going backwards is not the solution for you...there's nothing useful for you back there or you wouldn't be where you are now

we still have bad days in recovery but they are only bad days...not bad weeks or bad months...things will get better

what kind of recovery plan do you have? apart from SR do you have any other support?

No my only support really is the forums. I have tried meetings but didnt like them they just made me want to use more really

Thanks, i did something silly i text the dealer but he hasnt replied so thankfully he musnt be out. I am hoping after the vet to get my pjs on try and have a nap and then do tea

You should delete that number from your phone ASAP. Heck, change your number if you can.

Keep checking in, Lauraxxx.

1 billion % agree with Casey there Laura im not just sober but clean as well havnt used drugs in over 1300+ days

One of the first things I done was delete all dealer numbers & associates numbers related

For me there is no FOMO fear of missing out I know that when I see the state of some of the ppl who I used to associate with I remember one seeing me on my way back from shopping he was like you look great how did you do it

I said acceptance & hard work on myself he replied I want to be like that I finally said you can at any time

The choice to use again isn't worth it. I was sober for 6 and a half years and I truly regret drinking again. I'm on Day 11 now and looking forward to a longer and less stressful life without alcohol.

I hope this helps.

I have to agree ... when I got clean almost 2 years ago I blocked my dealer's number and deleted it from my contacts.
Your dealer is not your friend, they just want to keep selling your that poison.
