Negative Associations

I have 280 days clean and sober i'm having issues about hanging around negative people and why i need to stay away from drinkers, users and abusers. Please remind me of how this is not postive thinking and a way for me to stay clean and sober. thank you
stay positive
i know how you feel, i just ended a long relationship becoz the one i was with is in prison for drug charges and he has said to me more than once that he wasnt going to stay clean once he got out... i have been clean for 7 months and i have NO intention going back to where i was... so just try and find new friends and better people to hang out with
It's the same way you have your clean time so far listening to the advice of other recovering addicts. Experience says that you may not use immediately but if you hang around the lifestyle you increase you odds of using again. Why take the chance? Hang in there bro.
thats so true, people have an effect on other people... and you would most likely relaspe if you hang around the wrong kind of people... instead of hanging around people who have never used before or something like that!!!
all i can say is your better than that.....congrats to be clean...you can do it..were all your real friends..think about it...if you go back you have no future GOD has given you a second chance at life...live......and be healthy and get real friends..maybe try going to church...GOD will never leave you!!!!!
i had a long time sobor but one day you will forget you are an addict, i did. And if you are arround them you will use again!
