Went to detox and treatment currently in a sober living environment in another state, I’m a proud parent of 2 sons and a stepdaughter, my story is a long journey with some serious twists and turns like all of ours, But I’m working on things a day at a time a problem at a time, hopefully one day I can reunite with my family I miss them terribly but I have to accept that I did alot of damage that needs fixing

Hi Natasha nice to meet and congratulations on your sober days.
I’m Michael, or Mike, or cutie jk. I am 281 days sober, 30 years old. Drug of choice was coke and alcohol, coke ruined and took everything from me. I would do any drug to escape my insecurities really… I have two beautiful girls, and so super proud of the father and man I am becoming. So far I’ve taken up weight lifting, and running and hiking as my hobbies. I’m still finding what else I really like and love. Some days are super hard, and some are great. Anyways thank you for this post it’s nice to get to know everyone a lil more
Hello everyone! My name is Andy and just starting my journey I found this app about 3 days ago and honestly have rest everyday. My addiction is food aka the good girls drug. I will literally eat 6, 7 800 grams of carbs and sugar a day until I puke. I honestly do not know why I can’t kick this habit it seems so silly to me that I just can’t not do it. I’ve struggled with Binge eating disorder for about 5 years now. I am so happy to be here and read all of your post!
Hi everyone, I’m Kathryn.
You guys are all so impressive- you all have so much time since you last used… I had a very recent relapse, and am now back to 3 (almost 4!) days.
My addiction is very different from all of you, but is still an addiction and is often driven by very similar triggers as substance abuse. My addiction is to self-injury. I cut and burn myself often to the point of needing medical treatment. I am getting better, I’m finding that I can go longer in between relapses now. I just wish I didn’t want it so badly.
I’m a child and youth worker, so I feel kind of stupid having this problem when I’m supposed to know how to help other people through it… but, I guess going through it myself will just help me understand clients better.
It’s nice to meet everyone! Congrats on all your days clean!

It’s also my first happy healthy sober relationship

Hi Natasha, I’m Joe. I too started out with percs, oxy, then heroin. I really bad car accident opened my eyes to my addiction, and I struggled to kick it for another 6 months after the accident. As of today I’ve been 22 weeks(154days, or 5months) sober. Its extremely hard to keep it up, but with the right support, you can accomplish anything.
Hi, Natasha! I’m Sandra. I’m 41 years old, and I’m an alcoholic. I was sober for seven years and then fell off the wagon for about nine years. Currently, I’m 46 days sober. I have a super cute dog named Max whom I rescued last November, and in my spare time I love to read, write stories, and knit.
I just wanna pause and say this is a delightfully wholesome thread.
It is definitely an addiction. I used to self harm for years but then I found drugs, and it was a whole other ball game for me.
I’m so happy my first thread was a good one. And it’s so nice to meet everyone!!!
