@Dazercat. If this place is real its great. For those times when im low want a drink or smoke…and don’t want to bother my physiacrst or family. I assume since it’s online it’s us time zone specific. Meaning if im on Pacific time if its 4 in the morning and cant sleep and want a drink i can reach out?

Ya this place is real. You can always reach out. There’s peeps from all over the world on here. Usually someone is up. You may not always get a response immediately but there’s always someone around. Sometimes you can get a bunch of responses if your struggling. I’m on mountain time. I get a kick how the Europeans are getting there day going and checkins in the morning when I’m signing out for night. A few Aussies. I never know what time is over there.

Thats funny. Great to know its a big world of us out there, sometimes I feel other people dont really understand but then I think of what drives them and attempt to refoucus on other driving forces. Like my religion, kids, work. Thanks for the info.

You talking about the Suboxone? Or the Fentanyl?
Suboxone i was at 16mg and tapered myself down to 2mg a day before jumping off. Fentanyl i was doing about 1.5 grams a day.

Oh ya for sure, they didnt even want me to come off the suboxone at least not yet anyway. Decided to taper and quit on my own and havent been back yet.
Ya and the taste was terrible having to let it dissolve under your tongue…shit tasted like a mix of orange sherbert and battery acid.

I’m Eric, completely new to this forum. I’m an alcoholic and addict. Not my first time fighting this battle of addiction. Today I have 90 days clean and sober. Trying to build a strong foundation and I am here to support others fighting the same fight.

Hello, my name is Dominique, and I’m a new member of Sober Time. I am always hesitant to share my DOC, because it’s something that is legal, and people often downplay its addicting effect. However I have used marijuana as a coping mechanism for childhood trauma and abuse for 14 years. I’ve tried quitting numerous of times, however, it only takes one hit to go back down the rabbit hole.
I finally admitted to myself, I had an addiction. I started my Sobriety yesterday, February 14th, and I am about to reach 2 days in the next 5 hours.
More than anything, I just want to be clear-headed; been walking around in haze for too long.

congrats on your 90 days and welcome. I love
This site. Supportive people and we’re here 24/7.
Welcome
@Dwalk
Dominique, I was a pot head forever. It was really hard to quit. And I remember people telling me it’s not an addictive substance. Bullshit!!! 
It may not be so physically addictive as maybe heroin. I wouldn’t know. But it IS an addiction and it was very difficult for me to stop. But I did. Because I had children and it was an illegal substance. And one stupid close call almost going to jail straighten me out.
And @Eric1393
Congratulations on your 90 days. 91 now. That’s great. I thought I saw another Eric around here.
And glad you’re here too @DeeDee83
Danielle, I think we’ve already had some interaction on a thread or 2.
This is a great place for support. I wouldn’t be sober a year now if it wasn’t for the support of all the wonderful people on here. Keep checking in. Post pics of nature. Cat pics. Read memes. Go to @littlemisschatterbox silly sober talk thread or whatever it’s called. Just don’t pick up that first drink or smoke or whatever. Instead of picking up post a silly sober leg selfie. Do something on here!! It works if you work it. And y’all are worth it.

Same here. This ain’t my first rodeo. Best wishes!
Been around the block a couple/few times. Feeling optimistic. Happy to have found this forum. I need to be amongst peers, even if just virtual.
Thank you
