"Will power has no place in recovery. If you think so you are wrong. Try taking a box of ex-lax and see just how much will power you have to stop from going to the restroom." That's one of my favorite quotes when someone tells me I should have enough will power to stay off the dope. Ice was preferbly my drug of choice, but would smoke/take anything given to me. I'm still struggling so hard and today was one week clean for me, whereas before I had 10 months sobriety. I started getting in that mind set that I DID have will power and I could turn it down and I could only take a couple tokes and quit... I was WRONG! Will power definitely has no place in recovery. Because of my so-called will power, I relapsed. But I've turned the situation into something positive and realize relapse is just a part of recovery for some. As long as I got back on my feet and dusted my pants off, I'm alright.
