Therapy family and my pet
That's why I did it , for me
To have a better life in the future with my family and now I'm going to be a GMA! My family is growing with love.
That's how I did it!
For my future.
My son said the other day I'm the foundation, the tree and when the tree isn't doing good it affects all the branches.

I'm glad you could do it on your own. I haven't had a drink in 15 yrs. I will warn you, that for the I just started working a 12 step program because for the last 3 years I've been masking with a bunch of other chemicals. Marijuana, mushrooms, LSD, and opiates just to name a few. So my suggestion is just be hyper vigilant in the future. Not saying you should work a program that's totally on you.

I agree my journey is not set in stone it can get rocky at anytime. I hope it never happens but I am an addict and it's real so all I can do is my best. Therapy is what has helped me the most. I did check myself into treatment in the first place and lived in a sober house so I did get help, I soooo needed it I took it as a learning opportunity. They had the info and were supposed to be able to help me so I went and I listened and it changed my world.

I've now been hospitalized 3 times a week each, been through rehab, now in a half way house. I'm just getting to 90 days again. It's a hard pill to swallow that I screwed up 12 years sober and clean. But imma win this time.

I'm glad you've found your way to a half way house. I could imagine the hurt you feel relapsing, I would get up and keep going forward looks,like that's what you're doing and that's a great choice.

Thank you and yes I'm going forward. Ain't no way I'm ever going back. Yes it was traumatic relapsing but I can't beat myself up anymore. I have a great sponsor and a very good support system. They aren't going to let me screw up.

Walking into my first AA meeting was for me .. soon I realized I was going not just for me, but also to help others... That is where I found the best family that I could tell anything and everything. I go to meetings more for community, than for my own sobriety.
Reaching out for anyone who is struggling, or in need of an ear to bend
First treatment, sober house, i knew it was going to be uncomfortable. Then couch surfed for about a month . I changed my number and gave up my apartment before checking myself in. I ghosted ppl I was selling to so I ghosted everybody. I think that's cool I giggle about that. After I got a prs then started going to therapy twice a week, stopped for about 8 months and then went back to therapy. I have mental health issues too, cptsd and bpd so I am in DBT and I think that's what's keeping me sober and aware. If that make's sense
