Hahahahaha 
funny
Jeeze the “I got this” is so flipping dangerous, that my friend is complacency, hell I’m 14mths sober and I still don’t got this, it’s not a joke. So many people have gone back out on that attitude and passed away from it too. Hope who ever reads these posts realize that it’s not to put them down in their recovery journey, but just really examine what it is they think they got!! We wouldn’t be here if brain or will power alone got this

I was just sharing at a meeting today how I still don’t have “this”. I work that first step every day

Fully accepting that first step and surrendering to my higher power is the only reason I know I don’t got this. I am powerless. I have noticed that so many people say “I” but in my personal experience, recovery is very very rarely achieved on your own, recovery is a “we” one addict helping another

I’ve done it already 
I read from the end backwards though. I think I must have muted it a could of months ago so it was only around 800 posts 
or was a favourite of mine so lord only knows how or why I muted it

One month in and I do NOT think “I got this” by any means. Thanks for discussing how that really never changes no matter how many days under your belt. Good to know.

21 months in and I know for a fact I don’t got this, and I haven’t conquered or beat anything. The only way to win for me is to surrender and admit defeat. My fighting days are long since past. Now I just try to train others who still want to get into the ring with the undisputed champ, King Alcohol.

You’re like the best newcomer ever. Most newcomer come in and argue about this or that when we discuss things like powerlessness and ego.
Not you tho. You thank us and genuinely say you will think on that. It’s pretty cool to see.
Keep it up pal

I’m here to learn and absorb info. And I don’t like things candy coated, so this is my kind of thread. Just give me the bottom line without sparing my feelings. I have enough female drama in my house with two teen daughters. I don’t need more on here!

At day 12,846 I have never thought “I got this.” All I got is a lot one day at a time.

I agree! (With the not wanting things candy coated, wanting to learn/absorb, give it to me straight etc). Although only testosterone in my house (hubby & young son; so still lots of drama)

I second this. The first time I read a post from @crystalclear again, or a response to a response, I was amazed and in awe. I wasn’t on this app until around 6 months clean, but I was very much a sponge in IOP and therapy. I needed and wanted AAALLLLLLLL the info! And I wanted and needed to hear the hard truth of it. Made me stronger every single day!

I know I read it on here someplace so I’ll paraphrase. I got this. This is a fatal progressive disease. That’s what I got.
