I will suggest here some tools that you can use on a daily basis to be drug and alcohol free that can become a part of your own personal recovery program. Consider setting aside a quiet time every morning to focus on the fact that you are in recovery and to make a conscious commitment to yourself each morning to be abstinent from drug or alcohol use for that day. This daily discipline can become a basic recovery tool for you.
At night before retiring for the day, take a few minutes for some quiet time to review the day. If you have not picked up an alcoholic drink or a drug, you can be grateful for that miracle regardless of whatever negative or positive events that have ocurred. It is indeed a miracle for an addict or alcoholic to get through a day without using. Again, this daily discipline of reviewing the day before sleeping and being thankful for another day of recovery can become a basic recovery tool for you.
