You don’t have to have a DOC to post here. I made this thread so I could get to know some of y’all a little bit. I, also, will do just about any drug but over the years I did end up finding the ones I liked the most and had the most problem with. At one point my DOC was cocaine but then I started doing opiates and they became my #1. They brought me to H and after the 1st line I took, I was hooked… Anyway, i’m very happy you decided to share with us!

Hello, TMAC here.
I am a 75 year-old spirit stuck in a 32 year-old body.
My DOC is alcohol and in a few weeks it’ll be 2.5 yrs since my last drink (June 9, 2018), thank goodness.
My best friend is a dog, and I am passionate about music and fitness.
My toughest adversary is my own mind.

Hi Natasha
I’m Jan, which is a very male name in the Netherlands unlike in English 
I’m from the north of the Netherlands.
My addiction is gaming and basically anything related to screens however for most things besides gaming I’m not certain if it’s an addiction or obsession yet. In exactly two weeks I will have not gamed for an entire year.
Oh, and I’m 17

Hi my names Emma I’m 39 yrs young😘and I’m clean from a herion and benzo addiction I’m 112 days clean, living clean defenitely is an eye opener after 20 years of using and I’m still learning about myself, but if I’ve learnt anything in my journey it’s that I’m not such a horrid disgusting selfish person I thought I was, I’ve come to realize I’m kind, gentle, considerate, honest willing so things aren’t that bad after all.

Hi, my name is Seb. I live in Melbourne and I’m 48 years old and have 3 wonderful sons aged 23, 22 and 16 with the youngest living full time with me and my partner. I smoked marijuana daily for 17 years and haven’t smoked for 8 years and I’m 55 days sober from alcohol. I work full time in warehousing/delivery driving and my passion is photography (mainly concert photography) and have shot some fairly big artists which is nerve racking but hugely fun at the same time. Peace, love and strength to all.

Hi, I’m Victoria. This is my first day here. I just broke up with my alcoholic partner and I am trying to change myself so I don’t follow down that road again. Thanks for your openness, it’s very encouraging.

Hello,
I found this community as I am looking for support for Sex Addiction. Specifically pornography use. I have found I use this instead of alcohol to alter my state of being. I have been in recovery from alcohol since September 12th of 2012 through working the steps of AA. I have always found I’m addicted to something whether it be alcohol, benzodiazepines, other people (relationships), exercise, food, sex, video games, or social media. The addiction/obsession seems to alternate until different aspects of my life are affected. I consider myself a “Triple winner” as I am members of SAA, AA and ACOA. Looking for strong recovery and accountability here. Glad to be a part of the community.
J.

Names Jacob
I was born with cystic fibrosis and liver disease. And I also have type 1 Diabetes.
I Got clean and sober September 20 2020.
Was addicted to crack weed and alcohol. I also never accepted my diesease so I never took care of that.
I have been to 5 treatment centres and completed them all. Never worked the 12 steps after or used a Sponser. So after a decade of drinking and drugging, multiple hospitalizations, jails, and hitting another “bottom” I finally decided to do recovery for myself. What a journey it’s been so far but it’s been kinda fun. But still stressful many days. Thanks for letting me share here:)
Oh and I’m 29 years young. From Alberta

My name is Christina and I’m 41 years old… I recently fell off the wagon but back on it with 2 weeks sober. I always get a year under my belt and relapse. Alcohol is my choice of poison. I’m a single mom of a beautiful teenager girl. My recovery is for me but also for her. I lost my father to a drug overdose 6 years ago and do not want to end up like him. My 2021 goal is to get into meetings…any suggestions on how to o dive into that??
