Hi everyone, I’ve been lurking a bit and thought I’d do my introduction. I’m 12 days sober from opiates. This is not my first time in recovery, the last time (coke habit) I lasted 2 years. I don’t have issues with alcohol or even weed, my issue is the need to snort powder- maybe it’s an odd thing, I have no idea. I’ve succumbed to crushing and snorting Tylenol, which I know is not the best thing to do but it’s helping me stay away from the other shit.
The days are up and down, I’m trying my best but some days are really rough. My partner is still using and I know he needs to make his own choices and stop because he wants to not because someone asks him to, so I’m not pushing him, but it would make my life a hell of alot easier if he decided to get sober with me. He knows my struggles and trys to help by not bringing his use up or even doing it in front of me, if I ask he will be honest. Even though I don’t ask, it’s easy to see when he uses and it nags me deep down. I’m trying to stay strong for me and see this through.
Welcome Destined
I’m glad you found us.
Congratulations on your 12 days clean. That’s great. I’m glad you found us. I too worked my sobriety with a partner that still drank. It can be done. I wanted a better life and because I’m very active on here and my knowledge of addiction and gratitude I found a better life.
Have a good read around.
Join in when you’re comfortable.

Hello I’m New here and today is day one
I’m not feeling very motivated any tips?!
Sometimes we are motivated beyond our own recognition.
Deep down something motivated you to come here, something motivated you to understand that being sober is what you truly want.
It’s the habits we’ve formed and the addiction making you feel like you aren’t motivated. It’s not the easiest of journeys but it’s so worth while! Keep pushing!
