"Suit up and show up. Don't shoot up and throw up"- Art the
junkie that don't do dope no more
DON'T USE NO MATTER WHATI have found this to be what I call the bottom line. I remember a
man I met when he first got into recovery. The first year of his
recovery, his life was in turmoil. He is a perfect example of
"don't use no matter what". As I recall, he went through
bankruptcy, his wife divorced him, he lost his home and business,
and his daughter's boyfriend overdosed and died in his arms that
first year. I learned by watching him that there is no reason to
use. Recovery from addiction is based upon complete abstinence
from mood or mind altering drugs. Some days, just not using is
the best that I can manage. It is not the best way to have
personal program of recovery. It is the only way. There is
nothing in my life so bad that using drugs won't make it worse.
