The past couple days I've been thinking "my drug use wasn't too bad," "it would really help with feeling bored/anxious/lonely/etc.," "I miss those warm fuzzy feelings," and such. The IOP I went to was all about creating your own plan, and I just never really created a concrete, detailed plan, I figured I would just stop putting myself in situations where I could use and I'd be good. I am realizing these thoughts I've been having are the first steps to a relapse though.
my question is: what is your plan or some ideas for when you're getting that urge to use your drug of choice again and you're practically surrounded by it? __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

Do you go to meetings? That is what got me sober. Now with covid there arent any but I have a large supportive sober network of people that I keep in touch with that I could call if I needed to.

They still have meetings, they're just online. I joined SMART Recovery over the summer, but stopped participating because I found regularly talking about/putting energy into my addiction just made me want to use more regardless of what I was saying/doing/listening to. I kinda said "I'm just gonna deal with this when it comes up" and it's worked so far.
