It’s a great day, Arthur! Really glad you’re here.
What’s great about today? You, me and all these other wonderful people here realize we don’t have to or need to use or drink anymore! Removing that want is what’s damn difficult… finding a program with the right groove can seem painful but it’s sure as shit less painful than the other program we were on!
Consider hitting a meeting? Some other healthy idea or just resting up?
You deserve all the happy & freedom from the insanity, friend. Please find what works & work it daily! See ya around.

Welcome to the community.
I suggest reading around and participating where you’re comfortable. There is a great group of really understanding and supportive people here. There is a daily check in thread you could check out where you can meet a good chunk of the most active members in one place and get a daily check in routine started. Another great one is the daily gratitude thread. There are also lots of just for fun threads to check out too. I’m glad you are here staying sober with all of us here today. I look forward to seeing you around here.

New meeting or one you’ve been to before? I’d grab a phone list anyway. Go through the whole thing if you’re struggling and if you get to the last name & no answer, go through it again. It can be depressing as hell, I so remember.
Early on I fucking called everyone on our list and no one answered. I finally called my brother. He listened and gave me hope & a reason to not get loaded.
Whatever it takes my friend-- whatever it takes

Text first and ask if you can call them. I know I never pick up my phone when it’s a number I don’t recognize because I think it might be a telemarketer.

Sorry to hear you are still dealing with withdrawal but it’s really good you got to another meeting tonight. Were you able to get some new numbers for support when you need it? I don’t have any experience with methadone since booze and coke were always my go to’s so I don’t have any advice to give there but big congrats on making it through another day without your DOC. Just keep taking it one day at a time and keep reaching out here if you need us.
