Below is an email I just sent to a close friend whom I have known for several years.
He is still having difficulty staying sober.

My Dear Friend Xxxxx,
I am sending this email out of concern for you and your family.
I care about you very much!!! You already know that.
Below is a list of questions.
I don’t want you to reply to me, just answer them honestly to yourself.
- How often do you sincerely pray to God?
- Do you read from the Book of Mormon daily?
- Are you isolating yourself?
- Do you have one or more people to be accountable to?
- How often are you accountable?
- Do you attend 12 step meetings?
- If so, do you attend every week?
- Do you have your own dailies—and do you do them daily?
- Do you have a plan as to what to do when you are triggered?
- Do you follow that plan?
- When you follow that plan, does it work?
- If it doesn’t work, do you make changes to your plan?
- Do you believe that the Lord wants to help you?
- Will you allow Him to do so?
- How bad do you want to recover?
As I stated at the beginning of this email, I care about you
very much! And I wish I could help you.
But only the Lord can ultimately help you. Just trying harder does not work.
Please keep in touch!!!
I’m not giving up on you!!!!!!!!
-Xxxxxxxx
