I am sorry you didn’t get the support you were hoping for. It’s sometimes such a busy place here that it can get ‘lost’ unseen quickly. This doesn’t mean the community doesn’t care. We are here for each other.
Congratulations on your days of sobriety. We will be here if you ever change your mind.
Thanks Jasmine! I know, I should focus on one thing and then on the other, but as mentioned in another thread, my ED gets out of hand every time I quit for a longer period, and with 45 years, and 25 of ED I’m a bit done with all the shit in my life!! So I’m working on different things at the same time!
Oh love im sorry that you are battling 2 addictions at once - especially since it seems that working on one triggers the other.
I feel your frustration and an super proud with your determination- be strong and you will kick addictions ass! Have a wonderful day taking it odaat.
Congrats on day 4…this is a tricky question and can vary from person to person depending on many factors.
The sites say it takes 24-48 hours for it to get out of your system. Im not sure if this is true. I do know that most folks start feeling great after the 1 week mark.
I try not to focus on the ‘when will this happen’ but rather hold onto ‘this will happen for me too’. If that makes sense.
You are doing fantastic - do know the 1st month the hardest (imo)…do whatever you can to protect your sobriety and keeping adding up the days.
I don’t have an eating disorder but I do struggle with sugary food as an addiction compensation without booze. Not to extreme but definitely hard to resist. So I can see how quitting one can trigger another.
hm. it doesn’t sounds at all like you’re leaving because you’re happier alone. it sounds like your feelings are hurt and that’s sucky but also not insurmountable if they are. it happens to anyone sometimes. talk about it. you are a valued member of this place and I am sure your posts give a lot of folks a lot of input.
I’m sorry to hear you’re struggeling and the fuck it attitude is not what we normally see from you. we recently chatted about the quad and groin tear. I’m sure this is fucking w your mind real good not being able to compete and bring all your hard work to fruition. if there’s other stuff, I’d be happy to talk about that w you aswell.
I don’t have asperger’s but socialising is still hard for me, and it’s hard for a loooot of ppl. so you’re not alone w that either my friend.
be well. don’t fuck yourself or your sobriety up over anything!
I went by train at evening after a party with good feeling. At night watching videos I fell asleep. Surprisingly I woke up a bit early, so I slept a bit after that too.
I was outside as well. Took photo of this and honestly I have some strange feelings… They’re similar to feelings when you look at backrooms.
Maybe I found backrooms in Czech republic? Who knows.
(Also yes. I’m a lot interested in these kind of things like backrooms, creepypastas etc. I already do it from my childhood and it’s one of my interests. No idea why honestly…)
Otherwise I’m fine. Preparing lunch right now. I’m gonna have spaghetti. Yummy. After that I will be again just chilling.
