Good video and tips! I am 8 months sober and yesterday I walked into work, and my co-workers were sipping whiskey. Very jarring/ unexpected, and I did what was necessary by going to another room with a computer setup and close the door, to be away from it. Also "told on myself" by calling my sponsor

My problem with relapse is, sometimes i think that i lost everything i ever cared about already. The most i have to lose is my life and that's not much of a loss. Its distortions like this that i fall every time.

CHANGE PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS!-

ADVICE WOULD BE APPRICIATED. This is tough for me. Im newly sober i drank alone at home every evening for 5 years im a secret drinker so to speak. I have to go home and every evening comes.

Hi, I just wanted to say that I thought these were great. I'm an addiction counselor and played this for my IOP. I have one piece of feed back though. There were so many commercials I cannot reasonably ever play this again in my IOP. My clients complained about it, and some of the commercials were jarring. If there's any way to minimize commercials that would be great and feel free to respond to this when that has changed.

I thought I had relapse prevention mastered until i had crack and meth put in front of me and i folded like a cheap suit. Mike Tyson said that everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. That's what happened too. I didn't go out to look for it and someone. Came over and put it in my hand and I couldn't say no even though the consequence can be years of incarceration. Thanks for the tips.

My bf is on parole and gets drug tested regularly and has mandatory outpatient and STILL gets high. He just doesn't go, violates for "absconding" and is forced to go cold turkey in jail just to then be sent to inpatient and be back getting high as soon as he's out! It's beyond overwhelming and I'm now planning to file an order of protection. It's not worth it. 😑

Liking your videos. My wife has turned me onto them. I've been a struggling kratum addict for several years now. Each year I was able to give a go at quitting for a few weeks but slip until I get caught again. What I've noticed I seem to struggle with is the physical withdrawals and continue to preform at work. IT FEELS INSANE and I talk myself into going backwards. And I'll be darn, everything goes back to "normal". What's a good take on the physical aspect of withdrawal?

[carmenbrown]

For me it was something that happened at work. I got so down on myself and haven't been able to shake it off.
What do you to stop beating yourself up?

It’s so easy to quit if you do it right, it’s been over 9 months and I don’t crave a drop of alcohol, the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal after go’ogling and reading Steffon Barkload, not even within the first 30 days after I quit and told no one, did not need AA meetings or meds either.
