Starting my Sober Journey once again, ready to heal this adult life trauma

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.

That’s definitely a good way to move forward. Maybe I’ll give them a try. I’m willing to try anything at this point.

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.

You can do this!!!

Thanks for the support. I’m one week sober. No desire to go back.
