I don’t get how coke in your pocket will help at a meeting lol. That is his addictive brain thinking. It tricks you into so many things.
Regarding the spiritual aspect.. Please tell him what I tell you now.. I stopped believing in God along time ago. It doesn’t have to be God. It can be our own higher power which he will know from the meetings. Your higher power can be anything. It can be a dog if u wanted. Mine is basically the universe, good energy, think positive get positive solutions in life. Like the law of attraction. Treat others how you would like to be treated, be kind, be kind to the planet, recycle. Just that basically. And I pray each morning, and all I say is.. Higher power please take away my fears, make me stronger to fight my addiction. Protect my children. Just something like this. For one its not gonna kill you and if it helps beating an addiction. I’ll take that any day. The 1st few week will seem weird doing this. But tell him be more positive, believe in himself, and the rewards will be great. I can’t say nowt I’m only 11 week clean. But I feel great and things are going my way. It really does feel like law of attraction. Is working. He needs to meditate each morn as well. Just 10 mins listening to a you tube 1, or an app. It really helps to clear your mind..
Rome wasn’t built in a day so tell him don’t give up, and at least try these things for a few week. If I new what I new now I would of done this years ago. its just plain stupid taking coke into a meeting, and it’s not good on other people in recovery incase he mentions this to them. There are loads of online meetings through zoom if he goes on CA website.
That’s how exactly I feel, I’m the last 1 standing, and when the lock down is over I’m worried. But I’ve set some goals and boundary, no one is allowed our house. My gf has go out if she wants a drink. We are just gonna do things with the kids
I don’t want to feel depressed and suicidal for days from it. I’ve seen so many podcast where ex addicts have become so successful and feel so happy in life. I feel like I’m getting a taste of it. And I will do my best to keep going. Your partner will just be stuck in the same routine it’s a bout breaking it, and to be strong and believe in himself, and not to give up. Keep trying. Hope it goes well for him, ????????
