"You had connections to use; now you have connections to stay
clean." - Dave L.
DIAL THEM ... DON'T FILE THEM!!!I had connections to use. If one did not have it, then I went to
the next one. There was no shame in my game. If I needed drugs, I
called. I never said it was too late to call. I made phone calls
any time of day or night. Once I got clean, I caught a case of
shyness. The phone felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. It was
at a meeting that I heard, you've got to get connections to stay
clean. The urges to use have a tendency to wake up when it is
time for me to go to sleep. It is amazing how hard it was just to
pick up a phone and dial the numbers given to me telling me to
call. It took being in a lot of pain before I called anyone. The
guy I called thanked me. I did not understand why he thanked me,
until I got my first call from another addict wanting to use.

"Seven days without a meeting makes one weak."- Bari P.
DAILY REPRIEVEThis may sound a little insane, but for quite a while, my using
had become "just for today". I was not an addict that saved some
for later. This caused me a lot of chaos. I was constantly
looking for more. The philosophy of "staying in the now" was not
a new concept for me. I was being taught, if I did not use today,
I was a winner. I did not have to take on the burden of staying
clean the rest of my life. All I needed was to not use today.
