In my last post, I talked about how my life had gotten off track, and stated that I would discuss my plan for how to stay out of trouble in this post. My homie and I are still living life trying to keep each other on the right track. We do this by spending at least part of the week together and the parts we aren't together, we check in with each other via phone. It helps to be accountable to someone for your actions, especially if that someone understands where you're coming from and doesn't judge you.
I'm not going to say that we haven't slipped up from time to time, but we are working hard to not let ourselves or each other get sucked back into that lifestyle. Things that we do while together that help us not to is to make goals for our future. Things like we both want to finish school, we want relationships and friendships that aren't tainted by addiction, we want good jobs, and we want to learn to be happy without it. At least, in the things we have gone through in the last few months, we have developed the kind of friendship where we are comfortable leaning on each other for support.
We, of course, have other friends and family that are supportive of our mutual decisions to stay clean and stay out of trouble. But, not many who understand the hows or the whys. And, even less that understand the bond we built so quickly that lets us be able to talk about our issues with each other the way we do. I hope that we succeed and that the friendship we share lasts as long as I think it will.
I know this is short, and I will update you on our progress in this journey periodically. If you have any thing you would like to add or any comments you would like to leave, please feel free to do so. And, keep your fingers crossed, or pray, or whatever it is that you do for luck or out of faith that we succeed in beating our addictions and successfully get and keep our lives on track. Thanks.
