@Marie1221... Welcome to the community, thanks for sharing with us, and congratulations on your three days of sobriety. That may not seem like a lot of time, but you're building a foundation for your recovery one day at a time. And that's a wonderful thing.
You mentioned in a comment on another thread that you think you need to stay away from your friends who use in order to keep yourself sober. I think that's definitely a great idea. If being around them is going to be a trigger for you to use, then stay away. You have to keep your own well-being in mind and do what's best for YOU.
Staying sober/clean isn't easy. It takes commitment and a lot of hard work. Going to AA, NA, or SMART Recovery meetings is a great tool, not only for support, but for accountability, too. You just have to make yourself go. And the more you go, the more of a habit it will become.
Maybe look into an intensive outpatient program (IOP), too. They can be super helpful, especially in early recovery.
There's no "one size fits all" when it comes to getting and staying sober. You have to find what works for you. The most important thing is to keep taking steps in the right direction, no matter how small those steps are. Because even baby steps will eventually get you to where you want to be.
I'm sending you lots of positive juju, hope, and encouragement. You can do this. I know you can. Take things one day at a time, or even one hour or minute at a time. Whatever keeps you moving forward towards recovery.
Love and light to you. You are not alone.
