I can totally relate with you.
I’ve been struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety, hopelessness. Blackout drinker for bout 2-3 yrs. Moderation was NEVER in vocabulary. After 2 DWIs in 1997and 2007, and felony possession and intent to distribute AND burglary with intent to assault. In 2011.
Been on paper at least 10yrs of my adult life. This disease of addiction to any kind of substance is a FotherMucker.
I struggle to get 30,60, 90 days once. Minus when I was on probation. Relapses happens knives69. Too many to count for me.
Us addicts are the greatest at lieing to ourselves and family and friends. Admittedly I have to reset my sober date. To today.
Been thinking I’ve had everyone fooled that I have 30 days(big fat liar)
I’m rambling too.
Just stay strong. Go to meetings. Prayer helps too.

Congrats on 130 days btw!
Prayers for a positive outcome with the judge and court.
Much love, good vibes
Dang, did that person delete their comments about me being a pathetic pity party attention seeker? Because I was going to say, I come here for the amazing community support I receive when I reach out in my struggles (which there are MANY of and honestly I’m not sure how I’m even surviving as is), and if they don’t understand the gravity of that, then I’m glad. They’re lucky they don’t have to endure the suffering that I do, but please don’t tell me my pain is an attempt to seek “pity.”
I wish the libraries were open! Yeah we’ve been good friends for years outside of drugs, but that’s been a bit of a focal point the last couple of. I wound up back at home in bed. Trying to stay cozy and take care of myself. Depression is exhausting lolz. A counselor in treatment said “if you can name it, you can tame it.” Which is absolutely true. Thank you. I appreciate you.
Hey friends! Doing okay this Saturday
Started on this painting for a sweetie, and am watching Picard in bed now, eating vegetables even. The last week or so has been R O U G H, but if I accept the impermanence of things, enjoy things for what they are, and accept life on its own terms one day at a time, I do alright.
Sending love.
Mmmm there’s healthy living right there (whether people are in recovery or not). Sounds like you’ve found something that’s working for you - I’m happy for you.
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.
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.
Hey Kev, sorry amateur here, but what’s TNG? I haven’t heard of this show? Or Picard or Ds9…??? I feel like I’m out of the loop here please enlighten me @anon86726034@Yoda-Stevie@Knives69
