"If you escaped the lion's den, why go back for your hat?" - Bill

THE SAME PERSON WILL USE AGAINIf nothing changes, nothing changes; except maybe your clean
date. Once I quit, the urges to use again were overwhelming. My
whole mind and body wanted to use again. I white knuckled it. I
prayed to God that the obsession would be lifted. I even had
using dreams. I heard that not using was abnormal for an addict.
I'm glad that other addicts told me it was normal to want to use.
I was told to call my sponsor, not my connection. I wanted to get
better. I learned to stay away from the old playgrounds. I was
assured the urge would pass. I was given a little white book to
read. There was a chapter called What Can I Do? I read that
little white book several times a day. I watched the clock, and
was eager to get to the meeting. I was changing my behaviors. I
don't recall the exact day, but somewhere between 40 and 60 days,
the miracle of recovery started for me. I got through 24 hours
without wanting to use.
