My “developed nature” was to try to solve every problem by avoiding it. I used substances to help me to forget and to comfort me.
It worked until it didn’t. When the substances stopped working, the real nightmare came to life.
The only way that I have found to stay away from alcohol and drugs is the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
It worked yesterday. I’ll try it again today.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
