Advice/Tips/Suggestion Required for Self Motivation

[Meher]

Hi Everyone!
Yes I am new to this group but very old in my addition (10 Years).

I never tried it or thought of sobriety, but this time I am serious and I want my old life back.

I am almost about to achieve my 3months milestone.

Can anyone help me with good self help book?
Or
Any tips/advice/suggestion to keep myself motivated?

Hi Meher! Welcome and congratulations on those three months!

If you have a look at this thread there are lots of links to helpful resources.

Welcome to the forum! 2021 edition

Hello and welcome With over 36,500 topics on the forum (and over 1 million posts!) at the time of writing, and numbers on the forum growing all the time it can be hard to know where to start. This topic has been put together to help with that. We are people from all over the world who are working out how to do life sober - from alcohol, other drugs, sex and love addictions, self harm… We all have different stories and are at different places in our journey but we are all here tod…

What is it you’re sober from? E.g. alcohol and/ or other substances?

[Meher]

First of all thanks for the reply.

Of course, I will go through the tread and will look after the links.

My substance was Heroine.

You might find a lot of the stuff is more focused on alcohol, however there will be some things that are useful! There are a number of people here who are sober from heroin as well as other opiods. If you use the search bar you might find some more helpful info. I have also added a tag to your post to make it easier for others to find it and offer advice

Thanks for the additional tag😇

Maybe I don’t get any useful tips (As you mentioned most of the members were into alcohol) but it seems here I can learn a lot from different people sharing their experience of recovery.

There is a line that says “Have Faith in God & He will show you the Path”

Very happy to find this platform as one of my paths to my sobriety.

I hope you can! Of course there are some aspects of recovery that are specific to particular substances or behaviours, but over the last few years I have learned a lot from people with a variety of addictions. Most of us go down that path because we are trying to get away from something, so a big part of recovery is learning to make peace with ourselves and live a full and happy life, substance free!
