Going through a divorce and homeless for the last 2 years. Tired of living like an animal, i just want my old life and family back. To wake up in a warm bed and have a place to shower. Today is my first day of sobriety. Im scared of the withdrawals, but i dont want to live like this any more. Any tips or advice on going cold turkey? Is it really possible for me to quit and live a normal life again. Pic is of my camp, the place where i rest my head and dream of the life i once had

Omar.. It's never too late.
Try to get into a rehab center.

Omar, it is never too late. I agree with the above, try to get into rehab. Perhaps a local church or AA group could point you in the right direction. Put your hand out for help brother.

Work on you as if it's your only care. The rest will follow.

I tried. You have to call every day and pray there's a bed open. I don't want to wait months, I don't want to start the year as a dope fiend. I hurt every one who loved me in my addiction. I'm all alone. I just hope to have the group to fall back on

Friday was the last time I used. So now I'm just waiting to go into withdrawals. I'd use a ball every 2 1/2 days personal use. Theres a reason i live the way I do. But I just have to make it through this. And then seek meetings and recovery

I just have to take it day by day. It will be the first time I sober up in the last 10 years. To be honest I forgot about self care. Pushing my body to the limits every day, and only sleeping when I black out from being up for over 4 days.
