Most important, start listening to the competing voices in your head. This program builds up the rational voice that points out the problems from continued use, and disputes the enemy voice that encourages us to use. Lastly, make a short term commitment to sobriety (or long term if you are ready) so that you can think clearly while working on recovery.
