• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have been in treatment for about 5 months now, and though I have learned a lot here I still find myself dealing with the same thought: I will use one more time, I know when and where. The problem is, I have mostly good memories tied to using these substances. If someone were to say, "Well you don't want to go back to how you used to be, do you?", the question doesn't make much of an impact on me because of the positive thoughts tied to the action and my past.

Has anyone dealt with this? Feeling like you are definitely going to go back and use, and try to get away with it just once?

Your insight would be appreciated.

Thanks!
