I’m venica (va-ne-sha) is how you say it . I am 21 about to be 22 with two little girls . I had when i was 18 and 20yrs old. Latley i been lacking on my priorities and i feel like its starting to effect my kids as well . I left a bad relationship i was in for 6 yrs plus and haven’t been on the right track since . I smoke to much and sometimes I’ll just mess off my responsibilities which i know im better then . I have three different medical certificates and plan on getting sober and getting my covid shot so i can get my life back right
Good for you Venica! It’s nice to get focused and get clean. It makes a big difference
So many people here have been in your shoes. If you search your DOC (drug of choice - whichever substance you’ve been using) in the search bar you’ll find a good collection of threads.
I find this thread helpful for learning about getting sober and stable - so many good podcasts, books, groups - it’s helped me learn about people’s journeys:
This thread is nice for checking in and catching up - staying connected is important; when we get sober we have lots of time (now that we’re not using) and we need to have something to do!
Checking in daily to maintain focus #38
And then of course - the cats and the dogs (and other pets)
Browse around here, I’m sure you’ll find threads and topics you’re interested in. You deserve a safe space where you can find your “sober legs” and walk your path to be the person you want to be.
