Hi I’m Ewa, DOC is alcohol, I’ve been sober for 23 days. This is so hard to write, even though I don’t know any of you. I don’t talk about what’s bothering me or my issues to anyone, something I’m really trying to work on as I know now that that is what’s been keeping me stuck in this for so long. I started drinking casually at 13, when I turned 18 it became the regular university drinking… all the time. This went on until I married and had children, stopping all together was not an issue once I got pregnant. After my second, my daughter, was born I had severe post parting depression, I didn’t drink much until she was 14 months old. With un diagnosed postpartum, depression and anxiety and two young children it was my escape and a way to numb the overwhelming chaos I felt inside. I’ve tried to control my drinking over the years to full on not caring anymore, until I couldn’t do it anymore. So here I am, and I’m very happy to be here reading everyone’s experience makes me feel like I’m not fucking crazy

Hi, my name is Steven and I am an Alcoholic and an Addict and I am 53 days clean and sober today. I live in Alabama and I am 51 years old. My DOC was Cocaine, opiates and alcohol although I have been a trash can addict and used whatever I could find since age 17.
I have been fortunate to have had 3 seasons of great sobriety in my lifetime (10 years, 5 years, and 3 years) but I stopped doing what I was supposed to be doing (including maintaining my depression meds) and quickly went back to my old coping mechanisms. It nearly cost me my life.
I recently got out of my fourth rehab Black Bear (over a 30 year period) in N Ga and hitting AA 90 in 90 and IOP x 5 weeks as well and indiv therapy weekly and staying on my meds including vivitrol.
I just found this app and could use the support without the BS of other social media.

Hi I am Flannery I am from the Twin Cities in Minnesota. My drugs of choices were heroin, meth and cigarettes. I have been sober from heroin and meth for one year, 7 months and 13 days and cigarettes roughly a year and a month. I have had many goes at being sober but this is the longest I have maintained my sobriety. I go to NA (Narcotics Anonymous) and want to get back to Celebrate Recovery. I am really grateful for my sobriety and to be alive and thank you for letting me share.

Hi, I’m Ryan been struggling with the Alcohol for 20 years now. Last night was a 5th of Crown and a bottle of Baileys. Been addicted to the emptiness it makes me feel. Started to drink at around 11 years old. Due to the physical and sexual abuse I suffered as a child. Been pretty reckless ever since. Tried whatever I could and the result has destroyed relationships good jobs and my own personal view of self. It’s a long road to go.

Hi I’m Kady, Im 31, I’ve been destroying my life with alcohol since I was about 15. I have ruined practically every romantic relationship I’ve ever had because of drinking. Most recently one this last weekend. I drink until I blackout and pass out so many times, but I only really drink at the weekends, it’s never destroyed my job and so some how I’ve compartmentalised this crazy out of control side of myself, but this has kept me going for so long telling myself it’s not a problem. But it is. And it always was. And I’m writing this to try and hold myself accountable so i don’t go back to it. Iv tried to get sober before, maybe lasted a few months at most many years ago. I’m going to find some meetings, maybe go twice a week to keep my mind focused on it and of course this community can help too.
