Thats how i do it one day at a time Bret. I hit a spiritual bottom lately just not working much spirituality and using will be the next I know that much so i'm trying to make more meetings and need to crack open the book and start reading. sorry i missed your calls gotta just pull up them boot straps and start again, use what wisdom you have in the time you've been clean we learn more and more about ourselves and our addiction as time goes by. And your not alone i been starting over since 1983 lol just now figuring this out so it takes what it takes glad you posted i hoped that you would sometimes getting it down on paper so to speak helps see it for what it is.
Welcome back Bret! I know EXACTLY where you're coming from. My DOC is Lortab, and I find that out of nowhere that ugly monster show its head! I had to go to the doctor for Bronchitis, and they know I'm an addict, but he gave me some cough medicine with an opiate in it. I took the cough medicine-tried to do right with it, but before you know it that "stinkin thinking" came back again. So like the addict I am, I took the rest of it-not like it was prescribed. So, take it one day at a time, and pray! I find that God is my only refuge in times like these. Today I am clean, that's all I can ask for. You'll be OK, and remember you know what you have to do, and I know you'll be OK. Love ya' man!
