Itās not as scary as youāll make it out to be in your head. Everyone at every meeting Iāve been to has been so freakishly nice and welcoming. I know itās scary but itās so worth it.
okay
Thank you for saying all that. Really thank you.
I just saw my psychologist and she recommended it before I even asked about it. So Iāve emailed one place and she gave me a suggestion for a couple others. There arent anymore meetings next week but Iām gna aim for wednesday
Sounds like a plan! So glad youāre going to give it a try. Wonāt hurt. Might help.
I understand this might feel like I big step, but continuing as you were was not an option either.
You will find merely people like us at meetings.
Also please try both NA and AA as they might be different energywise. Find a place where you feel recognized and safe.
You are awesome for accepting the suggestion, that might proof to be your first step.
This is it al in one post. We cannot trust our addict mind, it has led us to bad places year after year.
Youāre so right. I just wish I was more consistent. Like I didnt let it make choices for me at all. I wish I was just so strong willed I never caved and just had one of those stories where people make that call and just dont go back.
The only people who could do that werenāt addicts.
Spin those wishes into hope, and trust that the program will give you just that, hope, it did for so many of us.
I cant wait for Wednesday. I mean Iām terrified but I feel like it may be a real way out of this messā¦
I just gta push through til wednesday. ā¦trying so hardā¦
You can do it. I believe in you! Do you have a hobby you can do or something to occupy your time?
I found a meeting that runs in 20 mins and I want to go but I feel like I cant force myself to do it
Whatās the worst thing that can happen if you go? Whatever youāre afraid of is probably built up in your mind. If you can get thereā¦ Then go! Then you donāt have to wait until Wednesday. You can do this.
Iām gna try
There is no time to try. Just do. Chances are you wonāt regret it.
Iām not trying to be bossy. And I know we are practically strangersā¦ But if you really want to make a change and be different itās time to do something youāve never done to get something youāve never had. I was just about to go to sleep (itās midnight here) and saw your post. So I just had to chime in. Because I care. I really do!
Iām in the car. I want to be differentā¦okay here goesā¦thank you for messaging x
Drive safe. Just be yourself. Let someone know itās your first time. They have free stuff to give you most likely and you can get phone numbers from people who are willing to be there for you. You got this girl! So proud of you!!
Iām going to sleep (already took my sleepy meds). But let me know how it goes so I have something to look forward to in the morning.
So I went. It wasnt scary so that was good. People were really nice. It was interesting for sure. Hmm
