Hey buddy…really glad you’re here. The only way out is through.
People talk on here a lot about the gift of desperation. About 1200 days ago that gift was bestowed upon me. I was tired, sick, shameful, guilty, confused. My life had become unmanageable. I decided that I wanted to take my life back.
I lived on this site for the first few months. I wrote down my last hangover/come down in VIVID detail. I also wrote every single reason I had to get sober. I read these every time I had a craving. I immersed myself in sobriety literature and this community. Sobriety became my only focus and full time commitment.
I am so thankful for my desperation. It was the best thing that ever happened to me.
You said that “one more time” this was your journey to 30. What did you do in the past to get sober? It sounds like you need a new plan if what you did before wasn’t working. What can you add this time?
I am not sure what resources you have available to you, Have you tried in patient rehab? Intensive out patient? Therapy? AA? SMART Recovery? Refuge Recovery?
There’s a thousand roads to recovery. Looking forward to getting to know you here. 
You know one of the biggest things to do is admit you have a problem… Taking drugs warps us, makes us lie and do things we never would do sober.
So ask yourself are you ready to push yourself more than you ever thought possible…
Reach out find a program to help you, dont do this alone as you are not alone!
Take it one day at a time.
Dont rely on your old self, old coping ways you need to commit to that change.
And i know this one hard, stop hurting yourself your worth recovery.
Last Time moved a thousand miles away…one of best friend friends took me in cleaned up gave me a job that sort of thing! A couple of weeks ago I tried stopping. Well I tried stop using meth but kept on with blow…in my head least I’m not doing meth in the end I was right back to it! I’ve thought about a lot of things I’ve got court in three weeks for my baby girl. I’m going to be staying with my family more they’re amazing I start my new job on Monday that’ll keep me busy…I’m going to try and focus more on me getting back in the gym I use to enjoy but try some of these meeting! I’ve been to AA but I don’t know if should try NA. I drink a lot when I use but I don’t ever wake up wanting a drink! So I don’t know if AA is it for me! Then again I don’t know enough! I’m addict that’s a guarantee I may be an alcoholic but I know I’m an addict! I honestly don’t know enough…but I’m up and today I’m going to be sober and that’s the only thing I know!! Thank you for your words and time! I found this app by accident but I’m sure glad I found it! Thank you friend
From what I understand, even though the steps and the ethos is similar…the vibe in NA is quite different. Maybe you would find a group that works for you there💛
Rob-We’ve all been there. We’re here to support you. Checking in here is the way to stay accountable. We’re rooting for you!!
Welcome Rob! You’ve made the best decision of your life. Stay close and stay connected to all of us. As far as AA or NA, I suggest making the decision after attending a few of each.
I’ll do that!!! Thank you so much for your time
Welcome Rob. This has been a great place for me to get support. It sounds like you got a lot to be grateful for when your clean and sober. Those 2 beautiful children are worth having a sober Dad. And more importantly you’re so worth it too. We can’t do anything about our past. But we can build a cathedral out of our future. Just one day at a time. It won’t happen over night. But one lousy beautiful clean sober day at a time works.
I start my day off with gratitude. I got so much more to be grateful for now that I’m sober. I hope to see you around.
The absolute last thing you are is a monster, Rob!!! You are sick. What you have done today is amazing. Give credit to yourself for realizing you have a problem. That is the first step. If you ever need to talk we are here. There is much strength when we don’t try and do this alone.
Hi Rob, you are not alone. We are on the same road together. Greetings from germany.
I’ll pray for all us…it’s unfortunate we’re in the same boat! Maybe together we can get to where we need to be! 
Day 2…
Back at work today…boy was I tired today!!! My body still trying to adjust! Those cold sweats and headaches were definitely felt today!!! I’m certain my insides hate me!!! I’m Staying strong…my babies need me!
Good guys 2- Bad guys 0
28 to go💪
Welcome @Robbie405:pray:t2:
Thank you friend! I’m actually detoxing while trying to put the pieces back together! It’s crazy how much you just don’t care about anything when I’m in it…the aftermath is like one hard slap in the face! I’m staying strong and busy! Man this is brutal though! Thank you for your words! I hope you and everyone else is staying strong as well!
