Cross Addiction

March 31, 2023

Day 33.

I woke up feeling positive today knowing that I had handed my issues from yesterday over to my higher power.

The day started with a lecture on cross-addiction, which at first, I thought my cross addiction was only alcohol and cannabis.  But then I realised my use of social media was actually a cross addiction too.

Since coming into recovery, I have not used Social Media once, not even on the computers in the computer room.  It is only my mum and some friends that I have spoken to since coming in.  This was made easier by only having the phone for 1 hour on a Thursday and Sunday, allowing me to focus on recovery with no distractions.

I finished Step 3 today and I have re-gained more faith in god.  I feel like I have fully turned my will and life over to the care of God.  I then put myself on the list for Church on Sunday, now that COVID restrictions have been lifted.

The AA book reading in the evening I related too and shared my views on it.  It was about homelessness, and I shared how I have had friends in the past who were homeless and how I have tried to help them.  I also printed out some homeless charity information and left it on the community table for other peers, if they are interested in it.

The weekend starts tomorrow!
