"Don't let anyone walk in your head wearing dirty shoes." -
Elizabeth M.
WE MUST CHANGE OUR PLAYMATES, PLAYGROUNDS, AND PLAYTHINGSI remember saying, everybody I know uses drugs. I was more
fortunate than most when I stopped using drugs. I had destroyed
most of my friendships. I did think I should go tell the few
friends I had left about recovery. Thank God I did not have the
ability to get in touch with them in early recovery. I learned
certain situations gave me the taste of using. Going back to the
room I used to get high in when visiting my family gave me strong
urges to use. Listening to certain music on the radio made me
uncomfortable. Driving in the neighborhood where I copped drugs
was not healthy. My drug of choice was not advertised on
television. It was in a lot of movies. Just watching one of those
movies mad me feel weak. The older dope fiend I met at my first
meeting made it simple for me. He said, when it is over, it is
over.
"The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good;
and thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burdens of
the past." - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
