I’m having a very depressed day and I found out I’m going to be alone tonight and am not looking forward to it. I’m having thoughts of using but I know that will only make me feel worse so I gave my cash to my boyfriend so I have no money to be able to go get any and I guess that’s a good thing?

I think that was a very smart decision. Way to go! This also lets ur bf know that ur struggling a bit with wanting to use and can allow him to be more supportive to u during this hard time. Have u made any plans of healthier things to do? Some self care maybe? Or an activity? Just to get ur mind off of using

Sounds like a good night to hit a meeting or read some recovery literature

You can listen to online meetings while you colour or knit to really drive home why using is a bad idea, and how recovery can bring a better life.

I was thinking about drink/using last night and I did an online meeting and did some reading which helped me get through it. You did the right thing giving your bf your money

I made it through the night and it was okay. I’m feeling a bit better emotionally today and I’m really thankful for this space and people and am getting more comfortable here when I’m wanting to use so thank you all
