Haven't posted or been present in a while . I'm trying to leave an abusive relationship that keeps me caged with tha fragile blessing of company,a distraction from time to time, & drugs. I've been relapsing & feel too ashamed to keep asking for help. My uncle jst passed away on top of other stressful current events. I haven't been able to make it to an NA meeting since my car & finances are another curse ..... I want to get clean & stay clean.....but my struggles with my mental (I'm bipolar , with major depressive disorder , anxiety , & ptsd) are keeping me in this addiction prison. What was your easiest 1st step to a long term recovery through unanimous hardships? Thank you in advance for sharing

I think u need too find a way too separate urself from the relationship...sounds like that type of relationship brings wit it all different problems that ur speaking of. N although u have transportation issues, there r meetings u can attend over ZOOM. I've never done one personally but I know for sure that they r a thing. I'm only 6 months into my recovery so I'm prolly not the ideal candidate to give the best advice although I do have numbers of a couple of guys (not creeps, like legit NA members) that can prolly help a lot more in depth then I can. They have sponsees and everything and they come speak for panel meetings and have multiple years clean. So if u would like any of their info jus message me and I'll shoot the info too u

It was hard for me to hear this and understand when I was told what Im going to say…
You have to drop those labels and reasons your life keeps not being beautiful!
All those made up diagnoses are exactly that! They are made up to keep people trapped on an illusion of being weak and not being able to change.
See yourself as healed already and in a better situation. I know its hard but with discipline of when the thoughts of Im weak and why me. See that you are strong and this is temporary experience that can be changed with one decision.
Our minds can create suffering or healing.
Yes def get away from someone abusing you but know you can change your story and ignore the labels they are not real!! This is coming from someone that was diagnosed and told I was lifelong therapy plan and suggested to be medicated and go to psychiatrist! Its all bs after you wake up to see who created all of this!! Its us!
