This is my first time on here and my first post. Just want to say hello to everyone. I also want to say you’re never alone ever ever. I have my good days. I have my bad days. Today is a good day. I am grateful to be here, there are days that I do struggle really hard though too when I first got into recovery, I did not want to stay clean nor be clean. I had to hit bottom completely and then some. Well, eventually, I did and then I was desperate. I had to move myself completely out of state away from everything I loved and move clear across the country. I put myself in rehab and a Faith base program because that’s what worked for me we do recover!!!! 07/28/2021

Its hard i had to do the same thing. Remove myself from everyone i knew for so many years, people that I thought where my friends loved ones. But as more time passes I realized that they weren't. They where just as sick as I was. Along as I love me and have my higher power thats all I need. Keep up the good work

Thankyou!!! Yes I learned when I moved not even the people that I knew in recovery were my friends. It’s like I didn’t exist and it hurts so bad. None of the people in my using days are in my phonebook anymore and when I went back home, I still didn’t exist so me and my husband left where I was together and now we live in a completely different state, which was hard for me because my family lives there. I grew up there but now I’m in a new place, new friends, new recovery, family, and I am loving this beautiful life. Thank you so much for your kind words.

CONGRATULATIONS on your 1589 days of sobriety.
We ALL struggle in one way or another. Nonetheless you're in the right spot. Being in the right spot is not going to get/keep you sober. Working an effective recovery program will.
Being accountable to responsible people with solid sobriety definitely helps. Add me.
Keep up the good work. I'm proud of you.

I'm rooting for you Amanda 
We're human, and eventually sometimes we let ourselves hit rock bottom before we decide to get our act straight. But what matters is that we do. A lot of people turn to suicide in these situations, but not you! Why? Because you're strong 
you matter and so does everyone else that are struggling. If you need a friend I'm here
