My second relapse

I was in the same program, about three and a half years ago. I graduated. Came home, and got into an outpatient program. Graduated from that, too. So I felt so good. Darn it. Then Covid hit. They closed down and went virtual. Why did that happen? So I started trying to sell newspapers but it got harder and harder. One day after selling newspapers, I ran into an old friend. That was always my downfall. Anyway, she was a counselor. I told her about my addiction. So she helps me get a job, and save up money to get back into this program. Today, I’ve been here for two months and two days. My plan is to stay in recovery. I also plan to do something called transitional housing. Looking forward to it. Stay clean.
