Hey everyone I’m new on here hoping to meet a few cool people that understands the strength it takes not to relapse or start a new addiction. It’s somehow in my DNA but I fight it everyday. I’m proud I got off the liquid handcuffs but I am scared to become bound to anything else.

I agree w you- I was petrified of same thing so I got evaluated and joined group therapy n have gotten so much peer support and am learning mindfulness which helps so much w urges, cravings n preventing new addictions. My therapist told us always be mindful as we could transfer unresolved emotions to other addictions so the fear u have encountered is legitimate concern, ur right !

Thank you Cathy! Peer support is definitely why I joined here. I do have a counselor but I kinda always feel unless u been through it u don’t entirely understand. I might have to check out the group therapy.. sounds like it helps a lot! Ty

I’m in the same boat. Alcoholic but also have an addictive personality. I have to be careful but it is possible. Here if you need to chat.
