Don’t use. Go to AA. Get a sponsor. Do step work. Grow your relationship with your Higher Power. Help others. Best relapse prevention skills ever invented! We’d be happy to have you in our fellowship.

Thank you!! Those are things I haven’t tried yet.
What do you mean by fellowship? Is it online? I’d love more information!
