Should have 22 Days but slipped for a week

Well I made it almost 2 weeks, then I slipped. Ran into an old friend and that first 1 led to 7 days of using.  I'm on day 2 again, but dont want to lose all my clean time.
I was going to NA and made the choice not to go the day I used.  I've learned this is not easy. The cravings, the choices.  However I have a choice in the matter n the choice is not to use today.
Pray for me.

Hi,,dont beat yourself up over this. You know what you need to do. In the beginning its very important to stay away from people/friends that abuse drugs or have a supply handy. In the long run to maintain your sobriety you may have to let that friend go. That is easier said than done. NA if very important and you need to surrond yourself with people that will support you and get a sponser,,,someone you can call when the cravings kick in. You just need to be real protective in the beginning of yourself. You do have a choice every day. You control what you do to yourself,,in the early stages as you know that too is easier said than done. This addiction is a mind f*ck. Keep your gaurd up.We all have relapsed one time or another,,but we always learn from that. You can do this!!~Bkitty

for this to work you need to chage all persons places and things that remind you of using......I know its a tuff pill to swallow but you have to chage your lifestyle to get clean you abusuluty can not hang out with friends that use no mater how long you have nkow them this was one of the hardest parts for me ....if you want it bab enough its yours for the taking learn from your misstake dont take on guilt or shame and move on good luck and God bless.....Gnarly

I appreciate all the support guys.  U start to realize that if you choose to put yourself around it, you will eventually give in.  
This forum is a wonderful place, I need to make a point of coming here and posting when I'm craving

I used to refer my boyfriends choice to use as a "lifestyle". I don't say that anymore because there in no life in using. Being here shows you want a life not that demented place you were.I am praying for you  that you find your peace and strive for a LIFESTYLE of sobriety.
