I have tried to quit many times - there's no secret to it - do what the program tells you to do - The 12 step program , not Your 12 step progream. A bib book study mt, step- mtg, open mtg, sponsor - knowlegdge - all these thins suggested can help you get clean and sober, but one must LIVE the life - and at first it was all I could do to survive. One Day at a time , the Serenity Prayer - big helpers. I always believed in a hiher power, I just had to let Him be in charge - still a challene today. After Step 4, when I fould out what my real base fear was, and started working on that, it was fun to be Sober and Live recovery, not just survive life on life's terms. Many mistakes I made. et a good support roup. Stay away from people, places and things - even if it is your famil. These are things the proram taught me - not advice. God Bless ou. I had to become veery humble and grateful for every little and bi thin. I wish you well, and this is my first time chatting, so I hope we meet again.
