Hey Tyler, your such a huge big help and inspiration to this community. I had those thoughts several times before I relapsed on cocaine, I thought the same as you. But literally I thought I was going to die when I relapsed several times my heart did not like it at all, and it did not make me any happier or give me any sort of satisfying experience, I was scared the whole time and praying, yes I kept my relapse going for a while but it was never worth it any of the time. I know some days just still suck sober and even no after having that experience my brain still tries to get me go and use again. I know your strong and will pull through, it’s not worth it that’s all I can promise.

Do NOT listen to the demon! That glimmer of happiness from using will turn to deeper darkness when the drug is gone. It’s a mirage so don’t go after it. You’ve chased that mirage before and you know it only leaves you lost in the desert of addiction again. Keep deleting and blocking the asshole dealer that is trying to harm you.

It’s not been the most exciting month, but I guess a little dullness is a step up from absolute chaos

Checking in on sobriety day 220. Prepping for my final exam for the semester this week but right now on a mental break at the gym for a killer back/bi workout. Happy Tuesday everyone.

Really struggling. Had a panic attack earlier and missed a couple hours of work. At least they are understanding. Now I just have a heightened sense of anxiety with awful physical symptoms. Can’t take Xanax or other benzos due to past history. I try grounding and breathing exercises but they just don’t help. Chest feels like I’m having a heart attack but it’s just the anxiety. My go to is alcohol and sleep. How does anyone else cope with debilitating anxiety? (This is only day 2)

This would be false happiness and would open up the door to screwing ur life up more. Be strong. Remember why u quit. If u do meetings, why not look for one to jump on.

Hi Karen. I’m sorry you are going through this. What you’re experiencing is what I experienced in early withdrawal. Medical detox is always an option, and one that I would recommend. Hang in there.
