Thanks for the reply. I too am dedicated to my recovery although as the months and years go on I don't focus on it the way I once did. I don't have the urge to drink but I also realize that the minute I think I can let my guard down I am in big trouble. I got sober by the grace of God and with the help of AA although I realize that 12 step programs don't work for everyone. I am intrigued by the program of your own making. I need to learn about alternatives to the common programs because some people are not open to the 12 step programs no matter what.
I am finishing up my bachelors degree in social work and hope to work with people with substance abuse issues when I am done with my masters which I will start next year. So I am always looking for ideas because people have the right to recover in whatever way works for them.
Good for you for fighting the fight! Crack is a tough one and you are blessed to have found recovery - by whatever means you have done it!

I am very dedicated to my recovery and I work a recovery program of my own making. I don't attend AA or NA, but I have borrowed a few of their ideas and adapted them to work for me.
I hope to hear more from you. Maybe we can share some ideas about our recovery and such. But, right now I have to cut this short because I am still at work. See you around!
