It isn't the substance, it is the thinking behind it that causes us to pick it up in the first place that is the issue. As I shared with my friend who I met up with today. I heard a recovering heroin addict, who never drank alcohol in her life because her father was an alcoholic, tell my story in the front of CA meeting room. I was there with an ex-boyfriend for an anniversary. I never did street drugs, they say "...and any mind altering substances," so that qualifies me. He was nodding and smiling, hearing my words coming out of her mouth, she had under a year clean when she was sharing her story (relapsed after 13 years clean) and I was clean and sober for 15 years clean and sober. It is one day at a time, just for today, I choose not to use. It all leads to the same soul sickness, no matter what substance you use. It doesn't what name you label it with, be it heroin, crack, cocaine, men, food, alcohol, relationships, sex, gambling, prescription drugs, religion, work, pot, and as I use to say, "[img]Gravol[/img] was the candy I used when all the other things didn't work fast enough."
