"I’m just glad we are not all sick on the same day!" - Scott G.
H.A.L.T.SHungry? Angry? Lonely? Tired? Serious? Yes, I could easily
identify with those feelings. When I was using, my life was about
passing out and coming to. I only dreamt about falling asleep and
waking up. Proper eating habits did not exist. My using was so
out of control, drugs were my only friend. I was not able to be
serious about anything but using. They told me I was right where
I was supposed to be. In my early recovery, H.A.L.T.S. was a
great barometer. I learned to eat, sleep, attend meetings, call
people, not to be too serious about myself, but to be very
serious about my recovery. When I followed these few simple
suggestions, I felt better.

"If it were not for all of you, I would be sitting here by
myself" - Eric the Tow Truck Driver
I CAN'T. WE CAN!“I can't, we can” was not easy for me to understand. I had always
used self-will to get through my life. The idea of joining a
fellowship was a foreign idea. I knew deep down I needed help. I
also felt hopeless. It was by attending meetings and listening
that a new idea was grafted. I heard I did not ever have to use
again. I was given phone numbers to call when I had urges to use.
I learned the obsession would pass. That is one addict helping
another in action. I can't. We can! That was my newfound truth.
"Alone, I am not able to stand steady. My mind is reeling." -
