Hi everyone. My name’s Ashley and this is day 1 again. I have 15 years from IV heroin and benzo use but have been using thc on and off most of that time. The last 2 years have been mostly off and I have used a total of about 6 months during those two years (not consecutively). I relapsed on nicotine after 2 years and 3 months March 2025. That really threw me for a loop. I have 34 days today from nicotine. I recently started medication to address my mental health (depression and anxiety) and it does help but I have been struggling again with THC since relapsing May 27th after 6 months sobriety. I went 3 weeks after that lapse and then this last two weeks it’s been on and off but very small amounts compared to previous usage over 2 years ago. I say all that to see the progress I have made while still wanting to give it up for good. I’m hopeful this platform will help. I don’t have access to in person AA/NA meetings where I live. I don’t know how helpful the virtual ones are. Thanks for the support and I hope to interact with everyone more.

Welcome Ashley!
Online meetings absolutely do help- there’s many different ones, you can join one literally any time and it’s far better than no meetings.
You can do this, I’m rooting for you!
