When you finish your stash, what’s your way of preventing yourself from getting more?

The way I prevent oh getting that next one when I really desired to stop I just stopped that’s it for no more using. If someone really wants to stop using they will. I did because my desire to stay clean it’s greater then my desire to use one day at a time

The program of recovery is a process & set up in steps & stages , each one reveal a little more about us & what we must do , using is a small ingredient in the disease of addiction. I believe in you….

That part always gets to me. Not even in a guilty way, but in a way to remind me that its the disease talking not me.

Erica, when you are sick and tired of being sick and tired you will start showing up at meetings with a real desire to get sober and stay sober. There is a way out of this and there's a whole life out there that is waiting for you but you are the one that has to make the decision to put the brakes on what you're doing now. You can't do it alone so don't try.

Sponsors should not be trying to date or hookup. If they are, report them. Not cool to use someones addiction like that.

Erika, the best advice I can give is to seek support. This is really hard going it alone. I try to make it my daily mission to seek help everywhere i can. This app, AA meetings, books, blogs, SOBER friends. I just try to build a strong support system. Therapy helps. I tell myself every night to think how happy i will be in the morning if u can just pull through one more day. Go towards the light. You got this!!!!
