Thank you, there’s some really interesting and easy to talk to people on here, it’s nice to be open about things, as I’m awful for keeping things to myself, but have been able to open up more to people that don’t know me. I’ve had some good advice with my withdrawal. I believe in doing it med free as knowing me I’ll get hooked on the meds, haha. But there’s so much advice it’s really helped. Again thank you, god bless.:pray:ps if I can ever help then just know I’m here also.

I know, right? People tell me I’m a stronger person for all the challenges. I’m not. I’m a mess! Constantly anxious and usually depressed as well. :grimacing:

I realize this post is from 2017 but this really helped me right now. I have been struggling getting clean for 21 years now. And what I need to do is to stop trying to control my using thinking I can, and instead involve God. Thank u!

That’s so true!!!

Going through that does make you strong IMO, maybe not in the way people mean (I.e. thick skinned). If keeping on going through adversity isn’t strength then I don’t know what is!
