Going Back Home

Sometimes we have to change our location and those we know or associate with in order to get out of the rut that has enabled us to drink and drug. I know that when I go back to my hometown I see those who have remained there has basically gone nowhere with their lifes. In order for me to find my friends, I would have to go to the bars. It is better for me just to stay away from such people and remain alcohol and drug free.

I definitely agree on this one, often you need to get away to recover and find yourself especially if you are mixing in a group that are encouraging or are part of what you do either drugs or alcohol etc and then it makes it harder to stop, peer pressure or whatever else. I too had to get away but I also had to change my circle of friends and realise that no matter how much I loved them, in the long run they were damaging me and though it was tough it was for the better.
