Go to your drug and alcohol services,hit a meeting na you never have to be alone zooms on 24)7 also we have to start learning to love ourselves and be in our own company.after practice and some clean time and clarity you will even start to enjoy your own company but going round to a house where drugs are being dealt is just a disaster waiting to happen tbh.go for a walk get on zoom and share or listen ,I see you give loads of suggestions when other people are not knowing what to do ,so maybe look back over what suggestions they gave to you.

DS9 was boring until the Dominion War storyline. They never went anywhere. Still, it had Worf, my all time favorite of the non-ToS characters.
It slow at first but it’s my favorite. Quark, Odo, Jadzia and the Siskos are like my favorite crew members ever. Literally all the ferengi are priiiiiime. Moogie reigns supreme.

Thank you! I’m trying my hardest. I have bipolar1 and BPD and a host of other mental illnesses that make my mood stability a constant struggle, but taking things as they come and trying to hold zero expectations has been keeping me relatively afloat.

Oh hey pals! I just got some notifications for this post so I spose I’ll give a little update! Life is still a very constant day to day struggle, but today I feel alright! Still seeing my rehab sweetie, though things are still a little uncertain but alas, such is the entirety of my life right now so I’m just enjoying and holding on to the small joys I find while I have them. My next court date is the 23rd. Confident we can reduce my charges so wish me luck there. I’ll have 6 months clean and sober on the 17th, and that’s bittersweet (but I’m looking forward to my keytag 
)
Surviving, not sure if I’m thriving. Hope you all are well.

Struggling, my friends. I’m doing all that I can to stay busy but it’s hard to shake the sinking feeling in my stomach. I went to outpatient, I hit a meeting and now I’m waiting to see my therapist. The reading today was about facing yourself. Obviously my last coping mechanism for pain was to drink and use, and having to navigate that sans substances is new but I know if I was fucked up I would be in a much worse place than I am now. I just don’t really know how to feel okay on my own and I’m in an immense amount of pain. I’ve reached out to a few friends and I’ll have company tomorrow, but my immediate impulse for today is to just take a bunch of Benadryl and put myself to bed for the rest of the evening. I feel needy and useless.

You have my prayers too Knives 
I hear you and I see your struggle. Life can be such a roller coaster sometimes. Why? I don’t know. But I have to believe there’s a value to it.
The seed doesn’t get to choose what soil it lands in. It just has to grow. And it is beautiful. Whether it’s a big tree or a scrappy tree taking it day by day; whether it’s an oak or a weeping willow - the tree is itself, present, and growing.
You are the tree Knives. Some days you are the oak; some days you are the weeping willow. Either way, you are a precious, unique part of the garden.
Thank you for being here 
Take care sister, and never believe you are not precious, never believe you are not valuable and valued.
