So I’m 31 days sober today, it feels good but the cravings for meth and Xanax is outrageous. I’m trying to keep my mind on school (Psychology Emphasizing Addiction Counseling). I’m in need of a Sponsor. Suggestions?
Look for a Sponsor at an AA meeting. Be careful of what you learn in school about addiction. Better place to learn is at 12 step meetings. Try going to 90 meetings in 90 days. Also make sure you watch out for H.A.L.T. Exercise and meditation is very important. I have been sober for over 30 years and I have been an addictions counselor for over 20 years and I learned much more about recovery in 12 step meetings than I did from school. Keep sharing about your cravings and follow the first drink or drug through to the trouble it will lead to.
