Congrats on 166 days.

Donā€™t feel bad about the likes/replies, man. Keep pushing forward.

There are like 100 threads on here. I try to keep up.

I like reading people stories. Itā€™s inspiring. Knowin what youā€™ve guys have been thru, your struggles. After all that, you guys are fighting to stay sober. That really hits me. I know that I can do it too.

Stay strong!

Say whatever you need to on here Mike! Positive or negative whatever helps you work through and get out whatā€™s going on in your life. And especially if it helps keep you sober! I can say for sure I always read your posts (if Iā€™m not stuck in my own head or away somewhere without phone service). If you donā€™t see me next to that heart just count it as +1 from Jess automatically (especially cuz Iā€™ve been using all my hearts and running out of likes on the meme thread :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:) BUT IM ALWAYS OVER HERE ROOTING FOR YOU THOUGH! You really have come a long way in the past 6 months! :clap: :partying_face:

Checking in
Day43
Just got home from grocery shopping and honestly I am super pissed off and annoyed. As I was getting off the train, right on the platform there were 4 people blatantly using meth, huge clouds of smoke everywhere, being loud and super disrespectful to others around them. As Im walking by, the girl looks at me laughs and says ā€œDonā€™t learn anything from meā€. I looked at her wanting to say that if she really gave a shit about how she impacts people, she wouldnā€™t be smoking it on the platform. But noooooā€¦ I bit my tongue. One of the guys who were with her actually apologized genuinely. She kept yelling at me for some reason while Iā€™m continuing to walk away with my groceries. She pissed me off. And sheā€™s renting space in my head right now. Bcuz all I wanted to do was tell her and her group of friends to use somewhere else bcuz there were kids and elderly and others waiting for the train.
I feel so conflicted. Bcuz I do understand addiction (obviously lol). I too used to use various drugs in public but I was never open about it or left my paraphernalia behind to litter the ground. Idk. It bugs when kids are around especially. And Iā€™m trying to live a diff way and not open my big mouth and be kind and loving to everyone who crosses my path. So I didnā€™t say much to her (not what I really wanted to say anyway). It bugs me to no end when I donā€™t say what I want. But I honestly felt at that time it was best for me to not to say anything (it was the vibe I got from the whole group). So what did i do instead? I actually decided to pray for her and her friends. Like wtf?! I never wouldā€™ve been one to do that but for some reason that thot popped up in my mind. And I was like why not? No one wakes up one morning and decides it will be their life goal to be an addict/alcoholic. So I did pray for her and her friends and also asked that I be free from this anger. And itā€™s slowly going away. Itā€™s just I hate living downtown sometimes.

You honestly did great Dana. Super proud of you. And handled exactly how you should of. Not your circus not your monkey, you kept your self safe. Thatā€™s what mattered the most in that situation. Itā€™s eye opening for sure when you see stuff like that, there is like a part of us that gets pissed and thinks we can heal or fix the situation in that moment when really we canā€™t, the person was all looped out and fogged. Saying anything wouldnā€™t of even mattered. A big huge shout out to you tho, your a amazing person
