Slowly watching the people from Step-works and Journey Pure relapse. I pray for them. I pray for me. I know I want recovery, but you know what they say it ain’t for those who want it , just live it. And I am, one day at a time. It’s just scary to see people do so well in rehab and then reality sets in and their off and running. 😔😕🤔 I ain’t going back. My stomach cringes at the thought of relapse. 🙏🙏🙏

I feel for you. They teach us that relapse is a part of recovery and all we can do is pray for them and try to motivate them to pick themselves back up. And pray for ourselves as well.
😔 reality setting in. Shit really don’t feel good to watch. I hate saying this , I just hope it’s not me next. I know what I have to do. Sometimes I need to see shit like that. It really helps me. Now I know what Dr. Bob means when he says in his story Dr. Bob’s nightmare on the last page.
Shelby, tell yourself…..
Just for Today I will be unafraid. My thoughts will be on my new associations, people who are not using and who have found a new way of life. So long as I follow that way I have nothing to fear.
@shelbyl it’s natural to feel discouraged sometimes watching people return to active use. It can be used as motivation to remember that if we fail to maintain our programs of recovery that it could be us returning to active use. If you continue to grow in your own program of recovery those folks will know who to turn to for help when they are ready for a change.
We show each other what to do, and what not to do.
Keep going Shelby! Praying for you.
Prayers for you Shelby. Keep your head up
