Halloween Parties! ๐Ÿ‘Ž

Gave in for the โ€œfunโ€ of it at a hangout. Really nothing compared to what I used to get into, but I feel like shit physically (the tolerance deff isnt there anymore).

November is just going to be a completely fresh start for me anyways. Ive decided that im going cold turkey in every manner, and that I no longer plan to indulge even minimally in any point of my future, even once im not an active addict. (Ive been thinking "oh I cant wait till im normal, then ill drink on holidays and it wont be an issue etc.)

Ive also decided to make my Faith a bigger part of my recovery process. Ive been Christian technically for almost 3 years (which was what started my longest period of sobriety that lasted about 7 months), but have really slacked on my relationship lately. I think that needs to be integral.

Ive been slacking on sobriety in general thinking itโ€™ll just โ€œhappenโ€ as long as I want it to. Ive got to be a more active player.

Side note: Using doesnt feel good anymore even in the moment. I realized that today. Its more of a craving but when I actually do it, I kind of hate it. (Good thing i think)

Some things that helped me get sober and then stay sober.

30 days inpatient rehab
6 months IOP
2 months in a sober living house
AA, usually 10+ meetings a week
Sponsor
Step work
Therapy
For one year I avoided pretty much any situation and people that involved alcohol (except for my living situation)
I stopped saying โ€œI canโ€™t โ€œ and started saying โ€œI will โ€œ

These days I still do therapy and AA. I still have a sponsor and go through the big book.
