Hey guys, I’m johnny, I’m new here. Short story: after 2 years daily abuse I started to quit, and this week I had my first clean day. At least it was not more then this one day:sweat_smile: but after that I had my first clean 4 days. I know that I shouldn’t charme myself too much but I’m a little bit proud of myself. Next goal is one week. I think I can do it. And even more 
To read that other people have the same struggle as you and that you’re not alone helps really a lot!

Thank you so much! To talk about my problems without the fear of judging is really a help. At first I was really not sure if this app or this community will help me, but I think without I wouldn’t be able to make this first step into a new life or at least it is a lot easier, this means a lot to me!

I’m starting to feel proud. I just to want to get to arrogant…
Be very welcome!!! You have reasons to be proud. You are doing great!!!
How is this going?
My main problem are amphetamines and cocain. Some days I smoke a little bit weed, sometimes I take a half pill benzo, but these things are not really the center of my addiction, you know what I mean? I try to stay away from everything but yesterday honestly I smoked a little joint. It really helped me to sleep, I don’t feel the need to do it again and so I’m mostly “okay with that”…
I’m away from uppers for a week now and my body is really thankful. normal eating and sleeping feels just so relaxing.
It is still really hard but I try not to think about it and make just one day after another.
Long story short, yes I reached my goal of a week 
If I may gently challenge you, I wanted to highlight this and ask: if you tried to stay away from everything but weren’t able to, does that not suggest your relationship with the other substances is perhaps a bit more complex than just “take it or leave it”? It may not be the center of the issue, but it could be part of it. A number of people who just quit particular substances and not others, end up substituting one addiction for another because the underlying addiction pattern never gets fully eradicated. It even can lead to falling back into the original addiction. I don’t want this to happen to you.
Glad to hear you’ve stayed off the stimulants for a week. 
You are definitely right and I know that. On the one hand I’m very happy that I came so far, it feels like I take a big step in the right direction but on the other I know that there is still a long way to go, I’m just at the beginning and I should watch myself and things like that, especially for me, are a play with fire and not the way I wanna go. I appreciate your honestly in that point.
I will do my very best, try to make the right decision every day and so come closer to the big goal step by step. I think everyday is a new chance to do it right and I really wanne take it.
Ps: I hope my Grammer is not too bad I used the translator a lot for single words but the Grammer is just what sounds right to me and what I remember from learning at school, I hope it’s okay

Welcome,
Keep up the good work and keep strong
Take it one day at the time
Realize that good is good enough
Keep trust in yourself and keep the faith
Here’s to your 7 days clean
Today I went to my first meeting, a self help group for drug addicts.
It was a very intense. And it was very mentally exhausting… In a good way!
I will definitely go there again next week.
It was a big step for me to go there and because of that I’m even more happy that it was such a positive experience for me.
Really tough but successful day, good night
