I spent roughly four and a half years. Last year was a rough one. In the streets, on crack and whiskey. I was stabbed/ robbed on two different occasions. I robbed and stole. It was a very dark time. I lost everything. No one speaks about adult life trauma. I’ve got a lot. It sent me spiraling into a baker act (in Florida,) and almost cost me everything once again. I’m so happy I found this app as I need support outside of my relationship.
I’m seeing a therapist, meditating, journaling etc. I’m not big on AA or NA. If anyone has other ways to heal and move back into a healthy lifestyle, please share.
I’ve always had the same feeling before about N.A and AA. But there actually good you can relate on stories that are shared . And actually meet really nice people good way to make new friends that’s what I’m trying to do make new friends.
Are you sober my friend or still using? I ask because I have trauma too, but am sober. Only early days. There is a big shit storm on the horizon that God and I will navigate before things get better. But I am putting all my hope and faith in that outcome. That things will get better…as long as I’m recovery and sober. Takes time friend.
