How’s everyone feeling today? Finally over 1 week and it’s pretty motivating knowing I can get this far. Where’s everyone else at?
@Lilemm Sorry to hear about the rough night. Hopefully you can get a nice nap in or maybe some meditation throughout the day to get the much needed rest. Keep hanging in there! It’s all worth the result. Each day moving forwards gets easier.

Hello Everyone. Been an addict in twenty years. Mostly pills and weed. Im currently trying to taper down my valiums, but my doctor has told me it May be too late. But the strong stuff; Coke, speed, and Heroin havent been a problem for many years. My question is; is weed ok? In small doses like 0,3 grams a day. I want too keep my meds (10x3 with diazepam), and i dont want too give up my weed. I dont consider It a problem.

Been sober for 47 days… no weed, just my meds.

I’m trying to not drink .it’s destroying my marriage ! I’ve had a problem for years .my husband has told me now it has to stop , and that now I have to choose . I’ve gone so far as to hide drink all over my house and lied about being sober 😭. I’ve stopped for days here and there bit never really meant it .I don’t want to lose everything . So I’ve decided this has to be it now . I’m awake since 3:30 am as I can’t sleep . I have terrible pains in my feet and ankles ☹… It’s so bad 😭. … All I can think about is drinking right now … Can anyone give advice on tips to re train the brain to not go for the bottle . And things to substitute with ? … I’m really trying so hard , but it’s got it’s claws so deeply rooted under my skin , it’s getting harder 😭😭😭😭😭

I was so close to a full week of no relapse and I relapsed yesterday. I have not made it a full week in so long! I don’t want this life of drinking and havent wanted it for awhile. But I keep doing it. I get triggered so easy. Any advice and feedback os welcomed.

Bamba i can relate, but i dont have the same addiction. But Try to shift ur focus to ANYTHING else than the drink. And u shouldnt go cold turkey, this Will probebly fail, or worse IT can cause delirium. Maybe u should consider taking some valiums (short term)

@Bamba ur pains Are most likely psykosomatic. I had terrible stomach problems, some 50 days ago, and it went on for days and days. Puking up everything. I too was really worried. But then my therapist managed to distract me, and suddendly, it all went away within the blink of an eye… so then i started distracting myself (singing actually:) instead of moaning. And now, i barely notice IT. I have a stomach syndrom, but sometimes these symptoms we Are experiencing, Are mainly psykosomatic.but do not go cold turkey with alcohol. Its dangerous, and benzos Are very good way of treating the sudden symptoms of whitdrawls. But short term. Just the first weeks. U dont want to end up like me, with a prescription thats lasted for 16 years. The doctor tells me that i could and shouldnt quit. I go into epileptic seizures every single time i Try.
