Hoping for a change

This is my first time using this app and I’m hoping it helps, I am a young married mum of 1 and it’s been a difficult journey .I kicked my addiction w/ street drugs as soon as I discovered I was expecting my daughter, she is almost three and it’s been so rewarding finding sobriety for her and myself, however I have found myself using alcohol to cope with common day stress and it has given me a false sense of reality and poor judgment. Yesterday was my grandmother’s 22nd year of sobriety (alcoholism) and I’m so proud of her I come from a family that has struggled with addiction and alcoholism. My mothers drug of choice has been pain pills and my father was out of the picture by the time I was 6 due to alcoholism. I pray to lead a better life for myself and most importantly my husband and child. My support is there but it would just be nice to have something like this app to go to in desperate/ needed times.

Welcome. I too downloaded this app about a week ago. The outpouring of support from people here is AMAZING! They will have a kind word and support you when you need it most. Some don’t sugar coat thinngs and say what needs to be said. I call that tough love though. Best wish on your journey. Lean on us we all got your back!

Thank you your kind and motivating positivity is appreciated!!!
