Nah at first I for one really thought it was crap ... B.S. didnt apply to me I am meth user ... NOT an alcoholic ,,, but if you read the dr's opinion it states "treating alcoholic & drug addiction" it mentions drug addition a couple of times .....

the reason this is all pissing you off so much is ..... most likely like it states in the Dr.s Opinion that "frothy emotional appeal selfom suffices"
meaning - saying dont worry just stay clean it'll be ok .... I love you there there you'll be ok ..... I'll love you until you love yourself .,..(though alot of us do love them until they can and even after they can love themseleves) but to simply say that and sit back and expect them to take no action that is FROTHY ........... wont work on the real deal alcoholic/drug addict .......... You need to be properly armed with facts about yourself .... and build a defense so that you can walk this world a free man .... you can $$#*$ about this all you want as long as your taking the action ...... and it will be easy to see if you are taking the action cause the bitching will be less n less ........... When the pain of using FINALLY out weights the PAIN of NOT using (or idea of not using) You'll take the action.............


Make a list of 40 things that you did as a direct result .... of your using ... like for me ... it was Stealing , check fraud, putting my nieces in dangerous situations by having drug dealers and gang banger over my house - their house - Going to Jail , got someone started on the needle .... lots and lots of other more personal and degrading things are on that list ............... make one for yourself .... and as I tell my girls ....


RIGHT there in black and white you can see step 1. Powerlessness & Unmanagability ...... and everything on that list .... EVERYTHING is guranteed to happen again ..... Plus worse .... should you chose to give up and use again ..... I have sponsored several girls who made the list .... relapsed came back and YUP the LIST had the same PLUS ALOT LOT WORSE .............


We always have the option to use ......... we are NOT ALWAYs guaranteed another chance to get sober and recover.
