Drug Of Choice! For me that would be alcohol

[Charlesfreck]

It’s also a hallucinogenic, similar to acid, long lasting and only a very small, precise quantity needed or it can be very dangerous. Best left alone!

We are each given the same 24 hours…what we choose to do with those 24 hours makes all the difference. Do I want to feel anxious about the past that’s done with, be afraid of the future that hasn’t come, or live peacefully in today because that’s what I’ve been given? I know what active addiction looks and feels like…I’ve lived there. Self-care in recovery is what I prefer…I want to see what gifts it will bring to me and all the others in sobriety. It has never let me down and I’ve never regretted this choice.
