word help: Substance abuse. - Help.com

Everyday is another day
You wake up strong then
let your guard down Its time to wake up
open your eyes let your mind and soul pull you thorough
there is nothing much that you should do
your guard is lifted up made out of sliver and gold
Drugs are stuck outside your world

I’m still there too anonymously. I just relapsed a couple of days ago. The only words of wisdom are to get up! We know the path we need to be on and can probably think of some fairly responsible 1st steps to move back toward recovery. Accountability, staying out of tempting situations, working steps, doing things for ourselves like exercise, going back to school; doing things for others like service, and most important, developing a maintaining a relationship with God. All the best to you. I have some big decisions to make this week too. I’m praying for us both.

I am not religious, but I know that many of the principles are universal, and I believe in inner salvation. Thank you. I have actually enrolled in graduate school and am loving it; but it is difficult to make friends due to my tumulutous history. There is a special someone in my life and itis nearly impossible to make something of it… I cannot trust nor can I be trusted due to my issues. I do go back and forth with my addiction and find it most comfortable to stay solitary and closed hearted. I do not know. Its tough. Its nearly impossible. But I do have faith.
