Hi everyone, I’m 22 and I’m from Italy, it’s my second relapse and I never felt so alone in this. If someone is passing through the same thing maybe we can do this together, maybe we can really support each other every time we need, already knowing we can’t judge because we’re living the same situation. Let me know! I’m also very smart and funny, not just pathetic I swear.

Hey @ddd
Welcome to the forum. Firstly, you are not pathetic. What have you been doing to stay sober?
You will find lots of support on the forum. There is a daily check-in thread too that you may find helpful.

Hi @ddd
Welcome to TS. Glad you’re here friend. You’re not pathetic at all. We’re all doing the same thing and you should be proud of yourself for recovering from your addiction. Relapses have happened to all of us. They teach us things. The important thing is that right now you’re trying again. The past doesn’t matter. One day at a time, you’ve got this.
This is a very helpful post which I highly recommend:
You can check out this thread to check in daily. It’s where we talk about our sober day, everyday. It’s my favorite thread:
And this one is very helpful as well:
You can also explore all the different threads. There are so many for different interests. Gardening, working out, crocheting, art of all kinds, discussing books, movies.
You’ll find that the community is very supportive. I hope you’ll find this helpful.

@ddd Welcome to TS. You are definitely not alone in the struggle my friend. Are there 12 step meetings where you live? You are not pathetic, you just aren’t perfect - neither am I. I relapsed many times before I figured it out. Once I started going to 12 step meetings I started doing better, that’s why I’m always suggesting to newcomers to attend meetings. Keep checking in here my friend, here you are always welcome.
