Hatzlacha!

I saw all that but maybe someone has there own personal tips to share..
thanks

It is hard at first. Commit to recovery even if it's hard. As time goes on, it will get easier. Work on using recovery tools in your life. Have you reached out to anyone in person or on the phone?

Those are the tips

Ask G-d for help and do all you can - in a wise way (this site if full of great advice).

I'm rooting for you and I think every single person in this program is too.
You're 20, I'm 52 - I wish I had joined such a program when I was your age but I feel this is a new beginning of life.

Go for it!

thanks, but sometimes i feel like its totslly not possible to control myself that its not even me doing it cuz the taivah is so strong!!!
I can only hope and pray.....

Powerlessness. First half of step one. Keep climbing!

Welcome Bestrong!!!

The first step was taken by joining here the second one too by sharing and being honest. So make yourself comfortable here read look around and i'm sure your going to pick up many tips. There is no overnight pill here that you can take to stay clean (i wish there was). It takes time to learn yourself and your actions get to know what tools can work for you etc.

So Keep On Posting (KOP) and Keep us posted!!!

Much Hatzlacha and remember to BESTRONG!!!

Why do you say that? Have you read the handbook? Have you found anything there that you can do other than "hope and pray".

Well I can't download onto my computer without other ppl seing it....;(

You can download it, print it off, than press shift delete to permanently delete it.

My tip (and the thinking of most guys here): narrow your focus to one day at a time!! Read the stories of the vets here, they'll always talk about taking baby steps, or worrying about just today. That's not empty sentiment (as I once thought); that's solid advice. Now implementing that advice requires a more abstract shift in perspective, since we addicts are, unfortunately, very black and white sometimes in how we view the world. We are not comfortable with nonlinear processes and things that we can't completely control. But once you start down the path of recovery, victories will necessarily come in the form of clean days (sometimes clean hours), which, before you know it, amount to clean months, and eventually, clean years. But the rungs of that year-long ladder, again, are days, sometimes hours.

So relax, mellow out, and worry about getting through today. Don't worry about how you're going to stay sober forever. That's not your department, that's HaShem's.
