Hello everyone. After two years, I’ve decided to give up poppy. It’s incredibly hard, but I have to do it for my own sake—I’m losing everything. I’m exactly twenty years old right now, and I hope I can make it through this journey.

I have 2,290 (feb 1,2026) days sober today and my best tip is work on your sobriety every single day. If that’s spending time here, going to meetings, reading sobriety literature, listening to sobriety podcasts whatever it is do it every day.
