Coming here is a great step. Be active! Between coming here and a recovery program, I finally got sober

They really helped me too.

I’ve checked in and been a part of this app everyday in for about 1300 days, no slips, trips or falls in that time, I’d say that’s been a biggie too.

I threw everything I had at my sobriety, individual counseling, medication, intensive outpatient, and AA. I added Talking Sober about 4 years ago. The only slip, trip and fall I’ve had happened today. But it was while I was trail running, so a skinned knee and some road rash were the only consequences.

I go strong for a good amount of time, once something happens where I feel like I can’t take control I go straight to alcohol than that leads to another drug. The after fact I hate myself so much and it is affecting my life, my job (my career), and my relationship with family and friends. I feel so lost today and I just want to drink but I keep telling myself no. I haven’t left my bed in 2 days and I’m over feeling like this.

try a meeting, try a sponser, try working a program. I was never that kind of drunk, I attempted 101 ways to stay sober until AA, NA, CA was all I had left to try. If it failed I would surely die, over 1 year clean and sober now. If the spiritual route scares you off do other programs but DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT bc your best thinking only ever gets you drunk and high, its time to start listening to other sober people and be open minded, it’s time to take action for yourself, it’s time to surrender. It’s a fight you can’t win so stop picking up hoping for a happy ending it doesn’t exist. I’ve got zoom codes for AA and NA if you want them.

I don’t drink daily but when I do drink which is on the weekends and sometimes during the week I don’t know how to stop. Than it turn into a few day binge. I am scared shitless trying to do this on my own. My friends and family don’t understand the addiction life, they all talk crap to me. I’ve distanced myself from everyone just so I can continue to drink and get high. I am in it 100% so anything and everything for tips I will take. I have been looking up places to do outpatient, I finally called one but they only do alcohol, I want something that can help me with both so I can just continue my life and be happy. I have to do this for myself first than my daughter. This is killing me.

Welcome. I started with Annie Grace’s alchohol experiment. A month of free videos, homeworks, etc teaching the truth about alcohol. If u haven’t tried something similar before, worth a shot.
