In person meetings are almost always better but even Zoom meetings can help when there is nothing else. Chatting here helps too. Venting is needed sometimes, I know that very well. Maybe it was meant to be and you can find something or someone to support you that you never expected.

Thanks. You are right. I have been trying to have a more positive attitude, but the last couple weeks have really been testing me. I've been miserable. But still happier than any day when I was using.

100%, last week was the worst for me. Everything felt awful. Meetings, counselors, and basically everything else. I hate the ā€˜fake it til you make itā€™ thing but Iā€™m also trying to be more positive and also keep it real. Not everything is going to go smoothly and thatā€™s the stuff Iā€™m going to have to expect. This is a really cool space though. You can share the good, the bad and the really ugly and people seem to have your back most of the time. Iā€™m trying to take something positive from something each day. Like, heyā€¦ I got out of bed and brushed my teeth. Today might not suck. Ha.

Everyone has my back until I say ā€œmarijuana is not an addictive drugā€ and also that I donā€™t have to stop smoking to say Iā€™m sober. Iā€™m over everyone else telling me how to do my program when itā€™s my program. Not referring to you right now at all.

Heckā€¦ Iā€™ve ubered to a few meetings. Without my sobrietyā€¦ thereā€™s nothing. Someone always gave me a ride home.
