Only Being 19

It’s so weird saying “Oh, well I’m 19 and I’m this many days sober”. Im so proud of myself for making this change, but some said to me a while back, "Wow, how does it feel to be a youngin’ saying you’ve been sober for that long? ". I honestly didn’t know what think, like I said I’m so proud of myself, and I know others should be proud of me too, but at such a young age, why did I do what I did? It is just mind blowing sometimes.

Take it from someone who’s been doing this stuff much longer than you have, quit now while you’re still a jit.

I’ve met someone that has been sober since they were 16 years old. That’s so mind blowing because you guys are supposed to be babies ya know, but you’re make such a responsible decision that it blows my mind. At 19 I was an idiot lol I’m super super super proud of you for wanting to be a better you and doing it :slight_smile:

@niniriah30 it’s better doin it young! You got that shit out of the way early, like myself. Every rehab I’ve been to all the old timers will tell ya if it didn’t happen now it’ll happen later; so I think doing it young is the best. Keep up the good work!

You should be so proud of yourself for using your own brain and not just going along with the majority. I wish I could have all of the time back from when I was 19 :kissing_heart::+1:

I’m 19 too. And I’ve been clean for 6 months and a couple days… yeah sometimes I feel embarrassed for being so young and was on herion. Everyone always ask me, why and how I got into it so young. But as long as your recovery who cares.
