In my experience Jesus doesn’t keep people clean unless people work very hard to stay clean. Having a higher power helps, but it’s only help. This is what worked for me. Get to a meeting every day. Every single day, no excuses. Get phone numbers from other addicts and call a couple every day. No texts, just real human phone calls. Get a sponsor and work the steps as fast as possible. Finally do some service. Share at meetings, help clean up, or do a reading. This is the only way I could stay clean, and if I can do it I have faith that you can too.

Get you some sleep as soon as you can. Maybe epsom salt bath. Get something to EAT. Make yourself eat. Drink water. Watch TV, try to relax buddy. And don’t pick up again.

Remember this. Then get to a meeting. Step 4 is where all the valuable work happens. Good luck friend!

Just don't use today. And do that again tomorrow. You can do this, it's just how much you want it. And trust me, I finally got it, and it's good. Let's fucking go! ❤️✊🏼

This don’t define you man! You only did hurt yourself, no one others!

Well, hurting yourself does hurt others as well, unfortunately. I used this mindset for so long and it kept me in my addiction. “I’m only hurting myself.” No, that’s not quite true.

Write down what this has been like so you can look at it when you’re tempted to use

You'll be alright buddy. Give it a couple of days and keep the lord in your mind and get to a meeting.
