This is the hardest thing you will ever do. If you are truly an addict/alcoholic, the idea of taking a drink or drug will be in your mind every day for the first few months, maybe the entire first year. For some, it is a nagging every-once-in-a-while voice; for others, it is a screaming directive. No matter how you hear it, it will be tough to resist the call back to what “worked” for you for so long. But remember, when a train is approaching, it’s not the caboose that will kill you. In other words, a lot can be avoided by not taking that first drug/drink.
Reflections
When you feel like drinking or using, what should you do? Where should you be? Are you honest with yourself and others about when you feel like drinking or using?
Daily Challenge
Check-in with yourself often, each day. Evaluate how you are feeling. Maybe even keep a feelings journal. Or is that too much work to be happy?
