Hi everyone I’m new 2 this. Not just this site but to living and learning how 2 b sober. I’m a recovering alcoholic. And an addict. My personal preferences were meth and heroin(only since 4minths). Meth iv had an off and on relationship since I turned 22…I’m 27 now. I recently had to get sober (by force) and it’s going on day 5! Honestly I feel the worst has past…I can actually type now lol. Recovery is like rebirth…reliving ur life… honestly for me it’s the first day that’s thehardest after that it’s all about will power.lokking for emotional support from others who can relate. Thank you!!!

Yes I once before used to attend na and AA meetings so Monday I’m gonna get back to attending those. However I must admit it is hard staying clean when literally everybody around me isn’t! Any advice?

Its pretty hard. I actually learned that people who i thought were my friends weren’t so i was able to cut them and the alcohol out of my life. Luckily my husband is also sober (he isn’t an alcoholic but doing it to support me).
You can dm me anytime! And i may get around to my story lol

Alcohol is my DOC and I haven’t personally experience physical withdrawals but it sounds horrendous! Glad you’re feeling better. Try not to forget how hard it has been to get to how you’re feeling now - you never have to feel like that again if you just don’t use!
Sobriety is like rebirth - what are you most looking forward to? Its good to have a positive reason to keep working at it as well as wanting to avoid the bad effects of using
As you search the forum you may come across this thread anyway but I’m posting here as a good thing to help get you started, lots of good links here:
