KEEPING STRAIGHT
& SOBER
When does chemical use
take place?
When you're...
-
Hungry?
-
Angry?
-
Lonely?
-
Tired?
-
Bored?
-
Change your playmates: Use of
chemicals is often supported in direct and indirect ways by the friends
you keep. It is especially important early on in sobriety to NOT
be around old friends who use.
-
Change your playground: This
can be difficult for musicians but use is also encouraged by WHERE you
spend your time. Find some new places to spend your spare time.
Change your playthings: Users
are often caught up in the ritual of use which can include certain kinds
of music, objects (pipes/needles), decorations, etc. Clean out your house
and get rid of all those things which are associated with chemical use.
