My mental health, the tranquility that I have now, life does not weigh so much on me now, now I have the courage to love and respect myself, to be useful to society and my family, and even when the disease wants to attack me with negative thoughts with my self-esteem, today I have the option to react differently, and if I can’t, I have a support group that listens to me and loves me, I don’t feel like just my friend, that would be the main thing, even though everything I can happen in the day, in the week, I don’t feel lonely anymore. and it’s nice I have tears :), because at some point I didn’t resist life anymore, I hated to wake up, I hated my existence, and consider myself the worst trash in the world, a failure, isolated from all, friends, family, in animal state. stop feeling like this is my favorite change, but I have many character defects still to work.

Congratulations! And a double celebration of sobriety is a rare but awesome thing!
I am at 1 month and 4 days now and I hope to one day be where you are now! Be proud of yourself for surviving and fighting this disease! Buena seurte con tu futuro mi amigo! (I used to live in Guatemala but my Spanish is mostly gone now xD)

ahahaha really a clean day is celebrated every day, thanks for your good vibe although I already asked my godfather and he tells me that it is tomorrow this year it is a double effort ahahaha 366 days, according to “sobertime” is today ahahahaha.
and well I was also in your shoes, I also saw my recovery friends celebrate an anniversary when they just entered the process, it still happens to me with those who celebrate more time, but it is the outcome, the daily work, that makes this so wonderful, much strength for you

I just downloaded this app as I am a cocaine addict and am ready to quit but also scared as hell! I look forward to the day I will be able to say I am 1 year clean. One day at a time though right? :slight_smile:

My friend, welcome to this community, it is wonderful, and if my friend, this is one day at a time, this is how it has worked for me, we have addicts who originally were an hour at a time, or a few minutes a Once, my favorite substance of consumption was the one that you mention, I know the hard work that is my friend, but the one that you look for how to stop consuming is already a great step, the one that you ask for better help, I had to understand that I I could not alone, that I was impotent to my addiction and I repeat it day by day, I do not want my addiction to control my life again. Entering the Narcotics Anonymous program is my lifeguard, my compass.

If you can look for support group meetings it would be fantastic, my friend, you are not alone, you do not have to go through this growth alone, which is to have a new lifestyle.
here they are in meeting now, enter it would be very good for you

and if at any time of your day you are overwhelmed give yourself time to read this.

but above all friend remember, no matter what happens, don’t consume.
