This is why reaching out to fellow addicts can make a difference because we all have walked down that path. You are definitely not alone. You’ve come to the right place. Im new to this app myself but I can already feel there is such a compassionate and supportive group of people here. Recovering addicts will always welcome one another with open arms. I can tell you from my own experience that even to this day, even though it’s been years since I’ve last picked up a drug, and no matter how many times I tell the story to people and how many ways I try to explain what it was like, people will never truly understand… so I hear you. You’re going to be okay, I promise you that. If there’s anything on your mind, feel free to share it. When I was in rehab I learned every little thing I could about addiction and how serious it really is. Addiction is a disease that we live with our whole lives and there’s no “cure” for it, other than willingly committing to sobriety and leading healthy lives; taking care of our bodies and our minds, and re-programming ourselves over time. It takes a lot of evolving and emotional healing. Baby steps, one step at a time, but you’ll get there.

I just joined hope this will help me stop drinking
Lost a child to a shooting 2017 and been drinking everyday since
So I joined to try to get some help and to help myself
Hang in there guys I was clean and Sober for 8yrs marriage fell apart in 2017 and I have been struggling ever since SMH
I JUST JOINED to Tuwana and Dan we can support and help each other
In addiction everyday is a struggle, and only through a conscious effort to stay clean and sober that the struggle becomes less intense. Try and utilize the 12 step programs and find a meeting if you can this app is a great starting point but an app alone won't keep us sober it's through practice of staying sober through all avenues available. Keep your head up everyone this seems like a great community. I'm new as well but have been in this battle for 18 years I'm only 34 but I've been an addict my whole life.
I’m so sorry for your loss. He is with you everyday & would never want this life for you. I lost me dad and brother within 10 months eachother & 2 weeks ago when my dad passed , I said that’s it. I have to honor their life. I know they are with me & want mr to be happy & not struggle the way they did. He would love to see you make that change for you! He’s always with you . I’m here with you. We can do this

This is why I go to meetings on zoom and in person because there people understand what I am going through and can lead me through the process of recovery not just staying clean!
Hi Dan people with some recovery time do understand. Be careful who you talk to about this. Chan on here all you want. Have you got a recovery support group?
Hang in there love.

Yea I felt the same way except I had a drug problem and went to drinking thinking I didn’t have an alcohol problem I chose to drink thinking it was going to be different and I had it under control well things escalated and I’m right back where I started
