i can hear your desperation. It CAN get better. Even if you feel terrible, it can be the last time you ever feel this way. Plenty of members felt just this way, and found a way out. You can too. What support for you have in place?

Please dont make this your last try. We dint become addicted overnight. Hence, we wont recover overnight. Its aout habits. You have to create healthy habits while stopping the destructive ones. Please give yourself all the chances it takes to stop using. In time youll get the hang of it. If you fall down get up and not give up​:pray::+1::v:

I’m glad you are here. I joined in February and felt exactly the same. I went a good long stretch but then I did relapse. I’m not saying you will, but I want you to know that I honestly thought if I couldn’t just do it finally after joining this app, then I might just take my own life. That’s how desperate I was. But you know what, even after a relapse… And a few more slip ups, I haven’t given up. I’m learning more and more and getting stronger and stronger in the process. I’ve dipped my toe in AA meetings(and I know I need to do more), I’ve learned my triggers and changed some habits. I’m being more honest and open with myself and others, and I’m even going to look into some councelling because I’ve realized I’m suffering from some serious low moods/depression/anxiety. This community has helped me a lot. I had a super tough night the other night too, but I checked in here and got lots of support that made such a difference. I hope you keep reading and sharing.
Are you looking into any treatment options?

Welcome here Eshan :raising_hand_woman:
This app has helped me a lot to get sober and I hope it does the same for you. Almost 4 years sober now but I had to work hard for it to get there.
It helps to cut the job in small pieces: one step, one day.
Skip the “try”. If you try something you still offering yourself a way out.
Do it, but just for today. Make it your goal to end up in bed sober.
And when you wake up the next day clearheaded: do it again.
Your days will soon become a long stretch of sober days. Ofcourse some days will be more difficult then others. And for me the first 3 months where harsh. But you can do it! On day at a time!
Read here a lot, there is so much to learn here.
And when you have a bad day? Come here to talk about it, it helps!

Don’t make your goals to big. Start with: just for today. Every day is a win. If that goal also is to big, that’s fine, Don’t blame yourself! Start with the next 5 min minutes.

Good you are now a minute more sober. I’m proud of you!

Yes it is hard if you fall back but it isn’t the end. It will be the end if you will let your addiction win this fight.

I’m now 27 days clean and calm again. Yes I made a mistake but I won’t let it take me down! I know I can do this! I know you can do this! You are not alone!

-GOD, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.-

-Hugs
