Thank you, Jazzy. I am so depressed though. I want to die sober, but what’s the point of being sober if life sucks anyway? I guess I know the answer to this. I’m just feeling very pessimistic & sad…

Oh sweetheart - I am so sorry to hear this.
Have you considered doing therapy or talking with a doctor to try to get you on something that would help with depression?
Have you had your physical lately? Make sure you aren’t dealing with any deficiencies? It sucks being in a rut and dealing with recovery. That stupid Motherf’ing addict brain is the one making you ask what’s the point of being sober — You do know the answer! You deserve a happy life. You deserve it to be clean and sober and healthy (mentally and physically). You are tacking on great sober days so hopefully your physical health is improving.
We are here to talk to but I would recommend a professional. Loads of love my friend. :people_hugging: :heart:

You’re right. I know what I truly want & that’s being sober, so staying sober another day will literally always be the answer! I have a therapist & a psychiatrist. I’m going through some horrible, scary, traumatic shit rn though. I stopped taking almost all my medication for months bc I make poor decisions. I’m happy to say that I’ve been trying my very hardest to take ALL my medication daily lately & it’s actually been going really well for me. My anti-depressant cures my depression. My seizure medication keeps me seizure-free. My nightmare medication prevents awful, vivid nightmares. My asthma medication helps me breathe so much better. I was wrong to stop so many medications that actually work for me.

Glad you were able to re-introduce the medications.
Hey - sometimes we don’t realize how well the medications are really working until we stop them. A lot of stuff going on for you my friend - just stay positive and do remember that things will get better. You are handling life on life’s terms fully sober - Super amazing work!

I am 83 days sober. Things in my life are already getting better. I just started this app today. Trying different things like zoom meetings. Joining groups that dont necessarily have to do with being sober but people have to be sober to attend helps me. Congrats on your 30 days.

Keep up the great work

10 days sober. Last week met a young man who voiced 8 years and 15 days sober. I immediately thought to myself surprised he did not add 4 hours 30 minutes and 15 seconds. When I celebrated 8 days. I asked God for forgiveness and said sorry to myself for mocking this person while he is truly rejoicing. Let me just say when I hit 8 years 15 days sober you bet I am going to hours, minutes and seconds.

To all celebrating years, months, days, hours and minutes …Big Congratulations! Personally I know how hard it is to stay sober.
