What’s the plan? What’s the next step?
I wish I had a plan. I say i want to check myself into rehab but I don’t see myself taking no steps into doing so. Just find myself still feeding into my addiction
Start with small steps. When the last time you went to a meeting?
Never been
Find one and go….

Hi Haleyy, I agree with Jeremy. AA meetings are a great start. Connecting with others who understand is what got me out of the hole. There's some online meetings too...some even run 24/7.
Check out flying sober online for some info
what would going to a AA meeting do to help me get sober? Cause to be honest I’d probably leave that meeting and go right back to doing what I have been doing
I suppose you're right, the meeting won't make you stop. BUT, it does start to change your decisions, patterns, and environment. Just doing the next right thing, all we can do. If you want to stop, it's a place to start.

Going to a meeting is a good place to start until you decide how you want to get clean and stay clean or just go with the meetings idea. I went cold turkey and have been sober for 12+ years. Stay strong, you have a good support network here! 
I would like to attend a meeting as well I feel it would help me soooo much. When I was attending meeting I was happier and the support was so on point and freely given that help me stay clean. It's nothing like being with a group of ppl that get just what you going through with no judgment or bad intentions to make you do worse than better.
I actually took the step to join AA meetings and I just had my first one over a zoom call and it was good I’d like to join the next one and actually see if it’s worth the help in getting sober

I remember being in your same shoes of not being able to quit my addiction to drugs and alcohol and I remember trying to run away and become homeless and how hard that was as well as the thought of self deletion I went and got help by going to a place where I can no longer make my own decisions I stood in the rehab for a little over a year before I did halfway houses and supportive living yes I could have left earlier but I knew every reason I wanted to leave was not a good one such as working seeing my kids and being in a relationship again because I realized I needed to put my sobriety first and I was not ready to be back in a general population and if I can't do for myself I can't do for others and the people I love maybe it might be something you want to try and keep me posted on what you decide and how it goes

I’m literally walking in the same shoes as you did from reading your comment… to be honest i can quit get sober but what really is the issue is letting go of the lifestyle and the “friends” because that’s all I have become to know so but cutting all that off I wouldn’t know nothing. And I just can’t find myself to letting all of that go
It was a first of many more I hope to go too and I just hope it helps me to kick my choice of lifestyle and how I’m living life to a better out come
