Awe girl… im so incredibly sorry about ur childhood and the things u probably had to see and experience bcuz of that. U can break that cycle tho. Ur future doesnt have to be in addiction. There is SO much more to life. I was so scared to be completely free from all substances, thinking i couldnt cope. Boy was i wrong. It is truly possie to live a life without substances. Im very happy ur here!

And together we will :handshake:

If I’m being frank, my father; while he was an ex-heroin addict, he’d been clean and sober 26 years, 38 years now I believe; he refused to allow the toxicities of her addiction to affect me so he shielded me from her, and I got to know her a little later in life. And boy I had my struggles growing up with my single father, but he chose to keep her away because she was in n out of jail and her addiction was at its peak. That’s not to say I didn’t have any traumas growing up, but I thankfully and most gratefully did not experience any traumas related to my mothers addiction. Thank you for seeing me and recognizing my efforts and strength​:people_hugging::cupid:

First time on here and downloading such an app but thought it would help. I am also on day 8 of not drinking. I feel good but tired and also feeling a bit lost as seem to have a lot of time to fill when not at work especially last weekend the first of not drinking. Just wondered how that compared with yours or anyone’s feelings after 8 days!

Welcome Mickel and CONGRATULATIONSon 8 days :facepunch:.
Yeah at first I too had lots of time to fill. Then as my brain fog cleared I saw how much I had let slide. That wa 3 years and 9 months ago and i am still sober and catching up on cleaning it all up! Keeping busy has been the key for me.
Again WELCOME :sunglasses:
