Been having a hard couple of weeks. Losing confidence in myself and my abilities. Isolating. Working 14 hour days feeling like it’s not even making a dent. I keep bargaining with myself — “I’ll just have one” “it won’t be as bad as the last time” “I won’t need to use as much or as often” — my addiction is kicking the heck out of me today, and I’m scared.

Hey Stephen stay strong because if you take one sip you’re gonna be back at square one and have to go through this process again. You’ve come so far. You don’t want to start back at the beginning and go through all these same feelings. I promise. Take a couple really deep breath‘s. I got this app called Insight Timer and I listen to meditation every time I get a craving it’s become my new favorite obsession
It’s super uncomfortable in the beginning but it’s even more uncomfortable the day after a relapse.
Happened to me 53 days ago I couldn’t feel my arms and legs… Everything was numb thought I was gonna have to go to the hospital or to detox. It’s just not worth it
Well, don't. Just don't. Get your a$$ to a meeting and hang with other sober/clean people who are trying to make it.
Like my medicine G for add and I’m an ex meth addict I’ll just take one in en up taking two . Breathe techniques
When you an alcoholic you shouldn’t even have a sip. My last relapse started with a big sip of a large cold beer. 7 months later back in detox. Remember alcohol is powerful. Imagine beer started my journey again and I wasn’t a beer drinker. Please go to meetings or reach out. I have a friend 39 stage 4 cirrhosis don’t know how long she has but maybe a year
