I have not posted since a week ago. I continued to slip. I believe last shabbat was the only day I did not act out. I have not acted out today. G-d willing I will not act out today. I am also excited because I have the number for one of the 12 step phone groups. This is something that has been missing in my life and I am looking forward to it. I used to go to a group in this city, but I dropped out because it seemed like everyone there was court ordered and there wasn't a lot of mature recovery going on. I continued to stay sober for a year and change but I always felt like I was missing a connection without a group.
May all of us continue to recover throughout Shabbat, to renew and refresh ourselves for the week to come. Gut shabbes.
