My name is Kaitlynn. Iām 21 years old, this is my second sober day and ive been battling my addiction for about 4 years now and have just made the decision to stop. It sounds kinda silly to say that Iām 21 and am already an alcoholicā¦ But here I am. Iv burned so many bridges in my life, and walked over so many people who just wanted to have my back. Lost so much that I can never get back. For most of the 4 years ive been battling this I drank from the time I got up to when I passed out. Ive had better days and shitty days but its always been way too much for me. Ive tried to quit before but always found a reason to fall back. Ive been through my fair share of shitty things and as much as id like to blame it all on them I cant anymore. Its so much easier to find reason to fall apart. But I dont want to fall apart anymore. And truth is, as much as my family and friends want to be there for me, they just cant really. So when I found this app that actually had a community I thought this could really help. Ive never even so much as went to a meeting or anything because Iām so anxious about it. Anyways, thereās kinda my story I guessā¦ The second day is always better than the first my friends.

Hi my name is Warren. I live in Johannesburg South Africa. 45 years old . Suffer with coke alcohol and heroin abuse for most of my life. Been in and out of recovery for the last 15 years. As soon as I think I have a hold on my problem I seem to just mess up. I find as I get older recovery gets harder and mentally and physically my body is starting to give up. I am back at it again. Day number 4 . This time I have no choice but to put everything I have behind it. As they say one day at a time. I just know I keep doing what I been. Doing there. Will not be another day for me. They say sobriety has its rewards. Trust me they have been amazing. Why I keep fucken it up is beyond me. Itās like when things get to good. Letās destroy it. Thanks for letting me share and thanks for this forum. Looking forward to the road ahead

omg Iāve taken half an hour to write this first lineā¦ Im not sure where to start or what to write . This is my first forum -ever- and im a bit nervous to put it all out there I guess.
Im inspired by all of these amazing stories and people thoughā¦ I probs should have looked into forums years ago.
I have been using speed and meth for more than half of my life , im 44. ( Oh my god did I just admit that to myself and everyoneā¦ Not my age but how long Iāve been using )
I grew up with a pot head dad and a mum doped up on pharmaceuticals. My brother is in the same boat as me also.
I started smoking dope when I was 16 or 17 and have only stopped here and there a few times.
I have always thought of myself as a functioning user, Iāve always worked and have managed to keep my meth addiction from my 16 year old son and most others , Iāve never been proud about it , more embarrassed. Sometimes I will get off it for months at a time , sometimes I will use only once a week or less and others its most days. Because Iāve managed to not hit rock bottom and have kind of kept it together on the outside ive always made excuses for my habit.
Im just so over it at the moment . Iāve started using needles again , first time in 10 years , and have come to the realisation that I donāt really know the adult I would of been without drugs. I know nothing else. I should have so much more financial security than I do and im pretty isolated from society apart from my work.
Today is day two lulzā¦ But im feeling strong. Hopefully this forum will give me enough support to actually be honest to myself and get the support I need. I owe it to my beautiful boy

Good luck sisterā¦ I wish I was as insightful as you are at 21!!! You can do it , believe me itās soul destroying to reach twice your age now and realise how much you have lost over the years to addiction. Youāre inspiring!

im very happy that you and all others found this app. Im very moved by your stories. Im glad u making a descission regarding to turn your Lifes around . Addiction has no age. My advice is find a good homegroup and a sponsor. Atleast give the homegroup a chance.i found mine almost 3 years ago, also have a very dedicated sponsor .Because of that and my forgiving/ loving family and yes of course this forum i have found my reason to live again. Thank u all and keep comming back because it Works .Willingness is the Key . Step by step, MINUTE BY MINUTE , DAY BY DAY

Hey. Iām Alex. I tried going sober. Made it a week. Iām starting over. Something about this try seems better already. I know itāll be a long road but i know the outcome will be better than what Iām living right now. I have an addictive personality by nature. Usually one thing leads to the next. And the next. And i just canāt stop. Kinda like pringles. But Iām taking this one moment at a time. Step by step. Iām glad i can write some of this out and get it out there. Weāre all in this together i guess

Every day getting stronger and better. Keeping my mind busy with loads of reading and my body healthy at the gym. Have also started eating healthy as I find junk food keeps my cravings there. But one day at a time. Every day feel more and more human.
