After reading your story, I can relate because that was the same attitude I had and I did just that. I gave up on my life and gave it to my father since I was destroying it and at that time I was not a believer. Finding god was the best thing that happened to me not just for my sobriety but also made me have a better look on who I was and helped with my hard head. Everyday I struggle not with just addiction but everyday functions and knowing my faith and I can ask in prayer for help is so much support to me. Nice to meet you hope to chat again.

Chase your recovery as hard as chases your high. Everyday instead of hustling to get money for booze or pills use that energy and chase your recovery. Journaling helps also, write down how you feel and as much as it may hurt chance your circle of friends

That’s a good point… Create a new life where DOC is not in the missing gap… So it’s not missed…

Press the three dots under the original post, then a couple of new icons show up. The bookmark is the one furthest to the right

Play the tape all the way through!
This is my favorite saying when I have urges and keeps me from using. We have to remind ourselves of the consequences before we pick up.

This right here has given me a lot of hope and sense of realization. I’m a new member here and only around 6 hours sober, and this has honestly given me hope that I thought didn’t exist in me. Thank you!!
