Today marks my first day of getting sober and staying sober. For some time now, I’ve struggled with methamphetamine use in social settings. It has affected my health, my work and my reputation.
You always think it can’t happen to you but it can. It can when we don’t feel good about ourselves and I didn’t feel good about myself. I did it to feel accepted and desired and then it became more frequent. I still struggle with feeling good about who I am but I will take this one day at a time and appreciate this app and community in guiding me there.
Getting and staying clean and sober will improve this immensely. At least it has for me. I dont feel so bad about myself when im not using substances, destroying my life, hurting myself and others, and feeling constant shame and guilt. Drugs to a number on us in many ways (as u probably know). But take it one day at a time. Check in often on the forum and stay close to a support system. Most importantly, reach out if ur struggling so we can help u thru the craving. U dont have to do this alone
