…those words which Sean shared resonate for me, as well!
( I will return to this thread and read each comment )-as always, solid support here.
Cameron, I am so glad that you reached out!

That sounds like an awesome goal! Totally doable if you stay determined, which it seems like you are! That’s a great idea and I’m so sure a lot of people would really appreciate that being a thing!

Don’t know your drug of choice but you may need to be medically detoxed with medication. I know that was the only way I stopped I will have 30 months this weekend. Do whatever needs to be done.

Hey Cameron! Addiction is a disease that wants you to keep using and wants you dead! Tell it to f off, because you’re worth it! I would recommend contacting a treatment center, get an evaluation and go with what they recommend. You can beat this with support!

Thank you for the advice. I don’t currently need that because at the moment this has been a 5/6 day coke “binge”. I’m 40-something days off fentanyl. Congrats on 30 months my friend!
Thank you Ben! I appreciate it

I would look deep in yourself and find out the why your using. 
we all have the thing that will most likely cause us to relapse. Like for me it's boredom, emotions and things I'm holding onto.
Just stop using for today and if that’s to much for an hour and go to a meeting try some fellowship it works.Give your self a chance

Hi, Cameron…thank you tons for your encouragement!
Yes, I need to get on that.
I acknowledge that there are cultural aspects which play roles in regards to individuals from certain minority groups not attending meetings.
While I can also see how people stop going to meetings. In general.
Regardless of one’s background, religious beliefs.
How are you doing right now, Cameron?

Hey Sarim, I’m having a rough day. How are you?
That sucks, Cameron.
During those sucky days, I remind myself that everything is temporary.
Er.
Try to remind myself?!
While right…sometimes when you are in the midst of the suck, words like that may not help.
You are not alone, please know, Cameron.
I’m alright. Up late.
Eating chips.
N o t drinking!

Aw, thank you-Cameron-you are sweet!
I read another post of yours. I believe it was yours, yes?
( Trying to keep shares straight 
)…regarding being a “ bad person “…you are certainly n o t a bad person.
None of us are “ bad “.
It sucks that our brains are wired this way. I am n o t taking pity on any of us.
We are not bad.
We are brave, Cameron.
Please keep letting us know how you are doing and I am gonna do the same.
( P.S., my chips were delicious. Healthier than alcohol! )

…also, Cameron…you could have made the choice to not post, to not be real with us.
So many of us get the struggles. Or else, we would not be here sharing to begin with.
Don’t want you to feel alone.
My wish for you, for me…everyone, anyone reading-who may be reading this.
Let’s pause to give ourselves some grace and some mental breaks today.
It gets so exhausting beating one’s own self up.
And like-alll of the time!
That is how and why many cycles persist.
Right?
I was not born “ wanting “ to be an addict.
None of us wanted addiction for ourselves.
I wish that so, so many realities had never taken place.
I cannot change those realities while I can focus on what I c a n change.
I can choose to not drink today.
We have choices.
Sending wishes for love and peace!
