I found a bag of my doc at the park last night and i flushed it down the toilet, now I can’t get it out of my head. It’s been a huge trigger today. Since the minute I woke up. Urgh I’m frustrated

When I'm in a bit of a funk I find meditation to be helpful in getting my mind reorganized. I also find getting in a good walk or workout really helpful for getting those positive endorphins flowing without substances. Keep after your goals you got this.

I went to inpatient and outpatient treatment and enough meetings during and after to know their not for me. I know lots of ppl that don’t go to meetings and have decades of clean time. Everyone is different I’ll be clean 1 year and 3 months tomorrow no aa, I think I’m doing pretty good was just venting. Aa is not for me and neither are ppl like you.

How are you doing, love?
Good job. Proud of you. I think you are a better persen than I. I have slept 8 hrs in the last 6 days, taking heavy sleep meds and all sober. Had I found some dope fishing this morning I doubt I would have flushed it, being honest.

How amazing that you had it in your hands aka had the strength to flush it down the toilet. That is incredibly hard and you did it. It goes to show that you want sobriety more!! Give yourself so much credit for doing something so brave. Reward yourself with a treat. You deserve that. As far as getting it off your mind.... Think instead about what it meant to throw it away. What you said yes to when you said no to your DOC. Meditate on how brave, strong ama courageous you are.

Thank you guys I love the input and it does make me feel good. I was triggered but I’ve made it through that and realize that dang I have come so far, I flushed my doc, I am proud of myself and the words of encouragement really hit me and make me smile great full to be sober grateful for the strength to overcome and move forward. I can’t believe how far I’ve come. Getting sober is hard, but worth it. I’m stronger than my doc I prayed for this many times then I did the footwork and continue to do it. I am glad to be up out of that hole. My recovery plan works, and the tools and coping skills I learned were so worth it after treatment I went to DBT and I would definitely recommend it. Thank you for the support this app helps too and I’m so grateful. Sobriety is my treat to myself every day. Peace and love

Do what's best for you. You're solely responsible for the consequences good n bad from your choices. Someone who doesn't have to live with your choices should never tell you how you should work your program. Stay strong in your convictions
