Stopping my addiction and choosing recovery to create a better version of myself with self love and care i try to stop using but it lasts only short periods at a time. I was able to wuit cold turkey during my 9 months of pregancy but then craved bad and jumped back into mu substance of choice.

To get my addiction under control I went to in person AA/NA meetings every day and night, got sponsored and did the 12 steps multiple times. It was the best investment ever! Just wish I’d done it sooner. No need to waste time struggling and failing. I’m here if you want to talk
what you did for 9 months straight, that wasn’t luck or circumstance, that was you proving to yourself that you have it in you, the craving that came after doesn’t erase that, it just shows how real and physical this thing is, it’s not a flaw, it’s your brain fighting back, you reached out today though and that means something proud of you
Cynthia, did you need medical assistance to quit cold turkey? Because that's my struggle that I'm going through. My body starts shaking, I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't drink anything and I feel like I have to go to the hospital but then I'm also like are they going to be able to help me? I really need someone to make sure that I'm going to be okay. Because I don't like the feelings I get when I try to stop. And it's not alcohol, but it's something my body must be depending on.
