I’m in the middle of a break up and though it’s probably for the best, I’m still sad, angry, frustrated and craving! I have to move now, but I just want to sit here and get high! Ugh

Take a deep breath. Let it out slow. Remind yourself of who you are. You are worth better things. Moving forward, in general, is uncomfortable. The secret is . ... That uncomfort means you are growing. There is a better place to redeem your peace. You can .. you will .. don't over think it...just force your body to move. You matter. We gotta show up for ourselves cuz no one else does at times. Sending love your way girl

It's rough that's for sure.... My first heartbreak ever that I stayed sober thru was only because I was in a Recovery Center.....saying goes just replace the ex to get over the feelings.....I tried a few times in the past and it didn't really work.... For me anyway..... Actually the true way is I had to learn to be ok with myself first....so....to get past it is different for everyone.......Love Yourself for You......Stay strong for You.....Stay Sober for You.....only You can do this for You.... No one else can do it for You.....if you ever need to chat we are all here to guide you.

I left a 25-year relationship with a narcissist. Mentally and physically abused. It was hard but the day I left. Some high power gave me the strength, and with a week of praying, it would end, I left the drugs which I was so at peace with my decision. Living fight and flight 25 yrs. How I don't go back is I think about what he put me through and how In my heart the drug was wrong for me and my health. Now dealing with health issues, probably from my changing my life around and using drugs for almost 20 yrs. I was in such ruff shape I have now gained 38 lbs. Feeling alot healthier and happier. I couldn't bring myself to go to Meetings for NA as I feared being around more manipulated people and the scare of being around people using its freaks me out to go near it as I never want it to start again

Remember the simple word.
When you feel like you are craving. Halt hungry, angry, lonely tired am I. What I do is what you we call urge surfing. I calmly paused and play the tape out all the way up through. If you wait long enough, sometimes 20 30 minutes. It will pass and you will be so glad that you didn't use

Getting high, takes your money and problably gives you more anxiety. I sugest you don't make that your friend. Focus more in your internal situation and how you can improve your way of life. Learn to forgive and let go. Hope this helps. God bless.

Hey Tara, I hear you and I’m sorry you’re going through a hard time right now. This feeling is temporary, so please don’t make any rash decisions based on emotions. You are working extremely hard for what you truly want for yourself. Stay committed and stay focused. You got this! 🩵

Hang in there I at least once a day still think about getting highs and in here to tell you I don’t think it will ever end the difference for me is I know where it leads me straight back to prison and so many less options I love my life and my sobriety
