Everyone is relapsing

I fuckin' hate it.

I guess I've been lucky so far. Actually, FUCK THAT! I'm workin' at this. I go to meetings daily, I have a GOOD sponsor, I follow his suggestions, I ask for help, I tell on myself when I'm thinkin' shitty thoughts, I own up to when I hurt others, I drive people to meetings, I read the literature.

Noone said this would be easy but it HAS TO BE DONE.

I just wish it WAS easy so people wouldn't hurt by picking up.

Maybe I'm just close-minded in that maybe people ARE happy in their addictions? I always assume that people were as miserable as me and once they have tasted self-confidence, happiness, peace of mind and ALL the things that drugs have taken away, well, why the fuck would they throw it away?

"Its easier to stay clean than to get clean" -some dude at a meeting

 

OD, I'm proud of you!
It takes strength to pull yourself up out of the place you were in.
You are doing great!
It is sad when we have to watch other sink back to a place we have left behind, but it is a part of life.
You can always extend your hand when they are ready for help.....
Stay Strong!

 

You are doing great and you're right it isn't easy but you are really putting you right foot forward here from what you say. And if you keep it up there is not way you can't make it in my opinion. But if you SHOULD (lets hope not) happen to slip up or have trouble just remember that there are people (me) that are here to help and support you.
AS for people being happy in their addiction, I don't believe that is true. I think people spend a lot of time trying to convince others and themselves that they are happy being miserable when really they are too scared or too unwilling to change.
