Even though we don't pick up our drug of choice, often we slip into old behavior and patterns, and act out in our disease. Recovery for me was learning to recognize those old habits and changing them in today.
Recovery isn't just about stopping the drinking and drugging, it is about living in today without using.
Temptation comes in many forms. Often to escape it, we reach for a substitution instead of going to our Higher Power for help to resist.
With the holidays coming up, I always need to be reminded, it is a one day at a time program.
