Do you want to resist?

And are you ready to face growing up?

I assume you will have the support of some kind of councillor or support group.

If not, seek out referals to support groups in your area.

It is way too hard for advice to be given to you over the internet as that advice needs to be taylored to your specific past situation, present and future needs.


Good luck.

The first step I think it is to realize how much you've accomplished by being in the program.

Then take a good look at who you are now, versus who you were when you entered into it. Your'e different aren't you? Make a commitment to yourself that you will stay clean and sober, and try to stay committed to it.

And by all means, find a support group as Dadpad suggested...it can make a world of difference, because if nothing changes, then nothing changes.

You have a written history here on a2k, bbchic... and it could be useful, a start for moving on, to review it with a counsellor. Whatever you said and we said, neither you nor us perfect, your counsellor might find patterns, or ways to help you.

I wish you self learning and self appreciation, and hope you can love yourself. I admire your spunk. Keep going,

Osso

I agree with Osso....

Asking us for help is a step in the right direction.....it shows you are concerned with your welfare and future.

Good Luck Chic........

I might have been snarky to you at some point, bbchic, I'm not sure. Maybe more than once. A way to deal with various comments, from here.



We'll be tough on you, but care you're ok.

Forewarned is forearmed.

You know what temptation looks like--up close and personal. You've spent three months being reminded what sobriety looks like. You have the sense to know that staying clean will not necessarily be automatic.

You're on your way.

Hold your dominion.
