Thank you 
it was hard and I hope it gets easier but I need to make some serious changes to my life or I won’t make it.
As a former sponsor of mine once put it, "AA is a very simple program, all you have to do is change everything about yourself."
As you continue down this path, some parts do get easier but life will still happen and there wi be challenges. That's why we can't do this on your own. I don't keep me sober, we do. So rely on your "we" when things are tough and support others when they are struggling. That is how we all get through.

I struggle with mental illness as well so I need to find the right medication too. There’s only so much I can change on my own the rest I have to learn to cope with.
Been there too, brother. You are not alone.

I was about to send you a friend request and you beat me to it lol. So you’re in Bmore MD huh? I’m in York PA lol. Use to go to bmore all the time, not for good reasons of course.
Well, let's see if we can find some good reasons for you to come back to Charm City!

I believe every day sober is just as important as the first or the next because for someone like me each day I don’t use is a miracle. Most I’ve ever gotten willingly without mat’s is 2-3 months, and almost 2 years with mat’s. I’m doing it this time without them and it’s hard. So each day is a milestone for me personally.

Praying, talking to my sober support people and sponsor, and I write poetry which has been a great outlet for me. If you ever want to check some of my poems out it’s Raven L Poetry on Facebook. I will tell you they get pretty dark but with addiction and mental illness both stacked against me I gotta write what comes to me.
