i was a chronic relapser. BTW not proud of that nor recommend it. i could identify so many factors in this list about my stinkin' thinking long before i picked up again. we do have choices. we can resume our addiction at anytime. it's a high price to pay for the low cost of living. OR we can continue to be willing to stay sober/drug free and regain the life we lost by abusing alcohol or drugs. AA has a saying-"we'll gladly refund your misery if you want to drink/use." sounds harsh but it is true.
RELAPSE ATTITUDES SOBRIETY IS BORING I’LL NEVER DRINK/USE AGAIN I CAN DO IT MYSELF I’M NOT AS BAD AS ….. I OWE THIS ONE TO ME MY PROBLEMS CAN’T BE SOLVED I WISH I WAS HAPPY I DON’T CARE IF NOBODY ELSE CARES, WHY SHOULD I? THINGS HAVE CHANGED I CAN SUBSTITUTE THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THERE’S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY I CAN’T CHANGE THE WAY I THINK IF I MOVE, EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE I LIKE MY OLD FRIENDS I CAN DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY NOBODY NEEDS TO KNOW HOW I FEEL I’M DEPRESSED I SEE THINGS MY WAY ONLY I FEEL HOPELESS I CAN HANDLE IT IF I HIDE BEHIND EVERYONE ELSE’S PROBLEMS, I WON’T HAVE TO FACE MY OWN I CAN’T DO IT WHY TRY? my own- poor me, poor me, pour me another drink. THE EVENT: A RETURN TO THE USE OF ALCOHOL AND/OR DRUGS.

Thanks for this madisgram Boy can I relate to your list I think I have used all those excuses some maybe more than once. I did go to meeting tonight which got me to thinking about trust. I think that is one of my BIG ISSUES! If you have any ideas please let me know.

I don't trust other's and I am now questioning my own self. I think fear is one of my big things too, the what if's I get so hung up on. I am so afraid of doing anything right now for fear I will make the wrong choice. I don't understand why I have gotten so afraid? I know I need to tough n up. How do I get passed my emotions being so raw? I now understand why I used and drank it was for the false courage because of the fear of living. How does one over come that fear?
