So with it being hard to get away from the old to make way for the new, how is it we go about making sure another relapse doesnt happen when nothing's really changed? The ONLY thing we have going for us is a baby on the way. But Im afraid that the stres...

I need to nurture myself in order to be happy with who i am. As an addict my life was a constant series of lies,denial,and justifications as to why i was who i was. At times certain ppl or things trigger my addictive behaviour and if i dont stay intune with myself its easy to fall back in old thinking patterns that leads to old behaviour. H...
