been clean sense the beginning of Nov

[The1AndOnlyBlaze]

I've been clean sense  Nov I use to have a big meth addiction and I've been fighting for my daughter who was abducted  by her grandparents I moved from Vegas to Idaho 2 weeks ago where my addiction took control I  haven't had any urges our wants to get high sense I quit cooks turkey but I have to go back to Vegas to get my dog and stuff and I'm worried that when I do I'm afraid that cause of all the stress I'm under I may get the urge to get high and don't know what I should do if I do.  n.a. doesn't help me with my urges so I don't want to go there what else can I do?

Give Aa or NA time.  I've often heard 30 meetings in 30 days is crucial.  These programs have stood the test of time.  I'm sure nearly everyone was reluctant at first.  Having a sponsor means you'll have someone to guide you 24/7.  And I agree with the others about bringing some sober friends with you to get your stuff.

Great Advise from my Girls above..Take a clean friend for sure. It takes a min to think of it and a min to re-direct yourself. Do all your homework you can about this Disease..There is alot of info on how and what and why it affects different parts of the Brain. You have to stay real strong and have support..

By the way..I live in N Idaho..

Bless

I forced myself to go to NA I forced myself to listen and speak and I forced myself to stay after and hugging BLAH but I did it any way
it took 30 days b4 I felt ok...I liked it a little more each day but I full 30 days to feel 100% accepted but they said keep coming back so I did
When u go to get your dog I STRONGLY suggest you bring some sober friends...I understand the need to get your things but u need positive ppl w u...OR if u have a friend u trust to bring u or meet u for your stuff
u only use if u want to use...
I keep 51% at all times that 1% saves my a** daily and when I slip below that 51% I pick up the phone NO MATTER WHAT I dont use, they said that too...
they also said it works if you work it...and somethings working, so what ever it is...I must be doing something right

Congrats on your clean time! You may not feel the immediate effects of NA but every minute you spend in a meeting is a minute you aren't getting high. Excuses are plenty for all of us but after care is very important! KEEP GOING TO MEETINGS and don't go anywhere near your old stomping grounds
