luckily it isn't calling my name. These days it is more just being tired. But yeah, once an addict, always an addict. As for figuring it out? Just keep walking...and breathing.

Keep walking, breathing and one of the biggest things I found out that helps is getting away from the people that you used to be with when you were partying. If you were around the corner from someone who said "come on, do a line or two, it will make you feel better" is a lot more difficult to say no to than being totally out of the scene and not around the stuff.

You were strong enough to stop but they may not be that strong, so getting away from them and finding a new set of friends who are away from that is very important.

Sorry about your Dad but do what you can to survive and get moving in a positive direction. You have kids to take care of and they deserve a happy holidays.
