Upped my game. I see a theropist for all of these issues of mine tomorrow at 8am over the phone virtually

I already have a list of things im bringing to the table to talk about at my theropy session that are very important to myself. Im switching to a very good fit for these issues

Sobriety
Trusting (huge trama issue i have)
Understanding trama
Talking to people with tramatic past
And bursts of irritation

*edit2
My new theropist specializes in
Substance abuse
Trama
And mental health
..and my question id like for her to help me figure out 1st is, do i have emotional trama due to my past and the details if so. I believe i do have issues with trust.. but educationally, thats all i would be able to add to my own question of if i do have a emotionally trama past, or not

Edit i have strong possibilities of childhood trama from school and family that we talked about a few days ago. More next meeting

“I could do whatever i and you can imagine myself to do in logic right now
Insted i will continously recall the desire for a life i want to live by under no means controled by anyone but me given the trust i have earned.”

Right here in my shoes
I have a long way to go

my last chance

My last drink
On may 9th 2023 was a beer.
I had over 300$ in my back pocket for whatever i wanted
I was drunk, when the beer was only half gone
Because of a person’s will to keep me safe
They pulled me out
And i questioned the change that led to my life i have now

That was at 9:30am in the morning
My sobriety clock was set to 12am in the morning or 00:00 the next calender day on
may 10th 2023

If that person didnt save me
I see a blackout by 11am in the morning
And my life taking a turn for the worse by sundown

After i was saved
I kept vaping nicotine and maniacally continued in my addiction , and started with cbd flower from online. A big az bag
I did it as much as i could
Before i left and after i got back
Every day
One month later
I got a job
I didnt stop trying to feel numb
One month after a job
I quit vaping and used nicotine gum and mints
I kept using online cbd
Then i was told i was going to be a dad
And i continued
I became a dad
I quit nicotine products 3 months after on may 4th 2024
I kept using online cbd for 7months then wanted a thc pen for no reason on September 11th 2024
I MINIPULATED the person i was with to get 1 puff of a thc pen
I took one puff
But
When i was blowing out the puff, i coughed so i wanted to make sure i felt enought so i took one more
I got confrunted and wigged out to the point i failed and became at rock bottom (,again, (how many times now?)) hiding the truth behind my disshounest hounesty.
On that night i was withdrawing so bad my skinn was on fire. I was hurtting for a thc pen. I was in pain for a thc pen.

My turest sobriety date was set one calender day after at 12am in the morning or 00:00 on September 12th 2024 and in 3 days i will have 22 days of continued sobriety with no program of recovery, only the silent words i hear in my head when im reading the wisdom on here. White knuckling every little knick knack to stay sober.

My only wise words of experience strenghth and hope i csn say is
At this moment in my cuontinued network and recent network (made just today)
..
Sobriety is better then under the influence and i am desperately and manicly willing to never pick up any drink, hard drug( i smoked them all) , nic product or and any form of weed ever again.

my example to my sobriety without recovery
Im not even truly more willing then how desperate i am not going to pick up

But
Yes i am also very willing to the point that in hell i dont see myself ever using a substance
.
.
.im a very good hearted and willed person but because of my addiction life style and continued neglect of recovery my lifes in shambles. To the point im understanding why i should worry about being left at the work parkenlot to fed for myself.

This is sobriety
Without recovery

We dont need connection for the sobriety
We need it for the recovery

Its all difficult
But its easy not to pick up a substance at all cost. Just be desperate
However
I need to learn how to be human because i never learned how to be human

edit
the person who saved me also took the coffee maker lolololol

end chapter

Tomorrow ill see what the next page brings :slight_smile: :folded_hands:

On a nicer note , i found god today… i feel it

Still dont understand the how though…

*edit
i really need some of the lord in my life… the whole thing necessarily

After self reflection
My journey to spiritualy to my higher power and my journey in recovery will only be about myself

I will care about everyone
But my story will only be said about myself. I will not say he, she, friend, enamy. I may say “others” or “people” or other words like that but only to the point of finding my spirituality out of love

My story
Is
My fault
I take responsibility for my past.

Taking it a notch slower
My spirtual journey led me to the safety of my bible after my experience with my day following my inner light. I got totslly lost right in the middle of the day at work because everything i learned through this went out the window. Its like i just forgot what i was doing and i turned to a mess. This told me i was moving too fast.vwhen i got home i started over and asked a question to 2 people I accept and who practice and know. The answer was oddly obvious as they immediately turnednit down and pointed me in the direction of the bible. The question was abouut a animal.a crow to see if it was studied and why. It was allllllllll logical saying to me.
Matt, put away your past, follow the bible.amd your light and slow down

I learned in my past the crownmeant death or trasition..i wanted to see.if it was different in others studies.

Mental health was so bad this afternoon. I flayered like crazy. Yelled at some drs. Did everything i shouldnt.

My day started following my inner light
My inner light brought me through disaster so.i can give up.and let god.and read the bible and make and study it.

This was a new chapter just a few days ago on this thred. This new chapter just started another paragraph in my journey. I understand woth love, light and compassion, nothing is truly my fault as long as i go to god.

The light today told me to slow down
Let go
Start new.

Now im actually 45min away from reading my AA big book with so.e buddies

My own day
Just for me is
The one and only reason i started this journey
My own special meeting day
My day
For my meeting
Is on tuesday from 7to8 studying the program. Strickly in a closed group

Look it up and viset me sometime.
Umc 01516
Itsna.closed group so hounestly just look up tuesday umc 01516 youll.see it

My time to study my passion
And i found god
In 4 days

Today im hittingnup a group out of the blue because i moved too fast and planned without communication so i kept my word but surprised some of my close personal people.

Then i will skip 1 week
I will start fresh in 8 days to study

In the mean time
Ill read about god
