"When I am alone and thinking, I am behind enemy lines." - Lenny
C.
AN ADDICT ALONE IS IN BAD COMPANYIn early recovery I needed babysitting. I wanted to use 24-7. I
needed somebody close to help me get through these thoughts. I
was a victim of a lifestyle that was about using. Left to my own
thinking I was going to use. My built in forgetter worked
overtime when I was alone. My disease was ready, willing, and
able to sell me out. I was scared. I needed others around to
share my urges. Meetings helped a lot. Time after the meeting was
precious. Going home alone was frightening. The longer I could
stay around other recovering addicts, the safer I felt. I had a
list of phone numbers, and was told to call before I used. That
was a comforting feeling. I understood how important it was to
learn a new way to live. After all, my thoughts and actions got
me here in the first place.
