Being Present

I Went to my first SA meeting tonight. The topic was “being present.” Today is also the first day I’ve been on Quittr. I’ve been struggling with my addiction for about 10 years now. Before that I didn’t see it as an addiction. I’ve always done it basically alone. I did individual therapy and I have used other apps similar to this one, but they have all been very individualized. And, once the urges died down, I always found myself abandoning the coping methods that got me to that point. Inevitably the urges creep back in and when an opportunity presented itself I would fall back into the routine of my addiction. Seeing all the people at the meeting and reading everyone’s posts today have made me wonder if what ive been missing is seeing everyone else work toward sobriety too. Maybe seeing everyone else be present, I will continue to be present too and kick it for good this time.
