Is it normal to wake up and absolutely just appreciate that you're sober? I'm starting a post so we all can share our stories (if you want to, no pressure!) as well as make a few friends in this post!!! LET'S EFFING ROCK! :metal:t2::black_heart:

My story:

My addiction was from a variety of drugs from as little as THC concentrate, to as hard as narcotics and started since I was 17 and got sober at 25, and got worse at 18, due to losing my older sister to a drug induced homicide. That's 8 years of addiction in my life. I slipped 3 times before I said THAT'S ENOUGH, then went cold turkey on everything considered drug use besides medication I'm prescribed by a psychiatrist for.

That's so awesome! I know when I would smoke THC concentrate or dabs I would go through an ounce a week!

Oh man I was a party animal since the age of 15 you name it I did it…. The booze was my poison but once I got 2-5 drinks in it was on. Cocaine Cocaine Cocaine , sprinkle some other party drugs in there as well. I didn’t think I had a problem :joy::joy::joy:

Oh dang, that was me too!!! I thought, oh I don't have a problem at all! But I consumed so much narcotics and THC concentrate at one time and my body felt SO HORRIBLE! I slipped 3 times and the 3rd time was the last time because my body felt like I was in more pain than ever.

Yeah it was bad… not realizing how I revolved my world around drinking… I wouldn’t do anything unless it involved drinking. I understand the damage and even knowing I still have my thoughts here and there. That’s the insanity

My addiction with alcohol started a few years ago as a coping mechanism. I had been hit with some major life changes and didn’t know how to handle my emotions. Even though I knew the path I was going down I convinced myself I didn’t have a problem. Once I realized I did I was too stubborn to ask for help. I did eventually start working on my mental health however it took my physical health being affected before I gained the courage to completely stop. I too wake up now appreciating my decision to become and remain sober.
