Six days substance free except for nicotine (vaping, I quit

Six days substance free except for nicotine (vaping, I quit cigs a year ago in August), and caffeine (which are hopefully soon to follow.) I’m grateful for this even though I’m not sleeping which has messed with me. I feel a sense of freedom and like I have a little more control over my life & thoughts. Praying that this lasts….

Don't just pray, put in the work. Get your support system together, reach out as much as possible, don't do this alone.

One step at a time. Work on staying sober first and foremost. Easy does it. All will work out in time is you keep it first always.

My sponsor suggested not to quit anything until I had a year sober so I can focus on staying sober first. Congratulations but if you slip, no biggie. Sobriety should always remain your first priority.

Just get one more day today, then one more day tomorrow. It ain’t easy, but few things that are as important and rewarding as sobriety are ever easy. You got this. I’m proud of you.

I researched ketamine infusions. Sooo expensive. I wish….

Spravato is almost free with insurance. I put it on credit card. Had to do something

Do you have to go to a special dr for that or can your primary do it.

Special doctor. There are ketamine clinics all over. You have to be evaluated and approved for it. It requires evidence of two or three antidepressants medications that you tried and haven’t worked. Google ketamine clinic near you.
