I use a treatment plan to help me stay the course with my drug free life. I like SMART Recovery Tool among other healthy directions to help me stay not only sober, but to have a peaceful life even through the sorrows that pop-up from time to time.
Keep moving forward in your new life.

I was chronic alcoholic at the age of 19 and nearly died twice. I suffered terrible withdrawel(DT's) which were more horrific than i could ever have imagined. I got clean and stayed sober for 3 years,but whilst sober constantly battled anxiety day in and day out,from this came terrible depression which i still battle to this day. Im 39 now,and have found a little solace in drinking 3 or 4 days a week,just a couple of beers. Im sure people will say im on the road to destruction,but i feel much happier having a small amount of alcohol a week,its a battle keeping it at a low amount but i manage it,and it gives me some peace from my day to day depression. The main thing that has stopped me drinking hevaily again was the nightmarish withdrawal from alcohol i suffered,it was hell but 10 times worse.
