My first week sober since I was 21

What’s going on people of recovery? Well I’m a fairly new member to this talking sober app, and I can tell yah that it’s a great support group. I’m currently going to nightly meetings every night except Thursdays, Saturday, and Sundays. Starts at 6:30 pm -9:00 pm. I was super sceptical to the whole group idea, but let me tell yah, it’s been the best decision I’ve made since this step into sobriety. I have been a long time opiate abuser and always had issues with alcohol. I really thought opiates were my real issue, but it turns out since I started my program that I’m 28 days clean and sober from opiates and just hit my 9th day of sobriety off of alcohol. So all I can do is keep going to group to learn the coping skills I need to keep my head on straight and keep walking that path that is set before me. I like to get on here daily and see how people are doing and I’ll keep doing my self. To every one out there, keep it up because we are all worth it and have some sort of higher purpose than to just be zombies tied to an addiction… #Letsdothis

Agree entirely @Moser. Disn’t fancy being a zombie any more myself. Watching tv and not remembering it. Waking up feeling rough. Day four done…ve done longer… a lot longer but had a blip. But 4 is good. Well done yourself. I have an uneasy niggle around 6pm for alcohol but it goes away. As I write loads of people here in UK letting off fireworks and celebrating Halloween… very loud and very drunk. Best of luck bud

@Moser I am on my 6th day clean and I have been to three meeting it was hard walking in the first day I left the room after a few minutes they said I can do this and sat back down it was good being with people who knew what I was going through and listened to what I need to let out. Great job going hope it works for all of us that are struggling with our addictions. Be strong

@Tanyarae. The journey has just begun. I now realise that I need to have aftercare set up if I’m to have future success. Aftercare is just one of the ways to keep the morals instilled in yourself after classes. It worries me to not be in classes any more but I’m soaking up all the knowledge I can get right now. Thanks for commenting. Keep it up.

@Tim it takes courage to relapse and get back into man. I’m glad you are really trying man. These times as the holidays get close the temptations are a ltitle bit higher, I think it is the best time to surround your self with people who are good influences and have love to you and your cause. Keep it up man.

@Oliverjava thank you very much for your words of encouragement. Haven’t lapsed yet and don’t plan to. Keep his track record going.

Just had to revisit this post. Still going strong guys just hit my day 60 from my last sip of alcohol and 78 days from my last opiate. It’s getting easier and easier each day. I’ve learned a lot about myself through this. Just wanted to let people know that it’s possible.
