Junky to Sober Behaviors , Help ?

Techinally you can use drugs while in AA as their time is counted for not drinking. Ive met many in AA who smoke pot and are open about it. "the only requirement for membership is the desire to stop DRINKING". Kind of a fucked up loop hole but hey thats why i like NA because ALCOHOL IS A DRUG. Sorry for spewing all that, just wanted to clarify that.
 
i think what the op is describing is a large part of why the only people to successfully quit drug use is through AA/NA, becoming a drug counselor, or some other means of discussing drug use on a regular basis. talking about drugs or preforming the same behaviors that you preformed on drugs is a way of soothing cravings and preventing a relapse. its almost like reliving old highs helps to vicariously get a little bit of a curent high without doing so. idk maybe its just me, but telling stories from when i was strung out, or the occasional minor walmart shoplift almost keeps me sane and keeps me from shooting up when i want to
 
Dude bahahahah, i was thinking the same thing. I still have crazy junkie behavior, if im alone anywhere i will search the whole house that i am in for narcotics, medicine cabinents, purses,jackets. Everytime i go into a public bathroom i ask myself i this bathroom is up to standards? All of the time is YES. Everytime time i see a script bottle i analyze it. Also i still cant talk to girls for shit. but in time i guess. Its been about 8 months with 2 one time uses, in the middle. Also the occasional beer.

I do the same thing man. In rehab they bitched at me saying i was glorifying but in reality all i was doing is soothing myself, to remind myself that it wasnt all bad and a complete waste. It is like reliving it. Fun to laugh at some of the shit too. Like when i stole a tub of "i cant believe its not butter" from walmart cuz i told my mom i was going to pick some up when i really went to cop.

^ hahah how the hell did you sneak a tub of butter out? ive taken some things in my experiences, but even IF you had a backpack, its obvious if theres a tub of butter in it. hahaha this made me laugh
 
I actually just stuffed it down the front of my pants and walked out. It was the family size tub too.
 
exactly, we found out that at a couple walmarts in the area the sensors dont work around the exits to the garden center lol. we ripped off so many dvds/blurays from those 2. we even just walked out the front door with a high dollar window unit air conditioner once. just wheeled it out in a cart hahahaha. ive never stolen from a person or hurt anyone, but gigantic, evil, faceless corporations when i was strung out.... thats another story
 
^i used to say the exact same thing when i was doing that kinda thing. I had a grudge against walmart in particular though.
