**** this life

#2

Hi there. How are you?

#3

Crappy. I’m having the worst night and all I can think about is getting high

#4

I’m sorry to hear that. Think it through…

#5

I’m trying to but being high is the only thing that’s ever made me forget about life for a moment

#6

It’s not easy. Life on life’s terms never is. You can do it

how long has it been if you don’t mind me asking ?

Hi Kristina, part of the beautiful and hard part of sobriety is being present in each moment. When life gets hard we get to breath through those moments. This is where a sobriety toolbox comes in handy. Having tools like meditation, mindfulness, prayer, breath practices, meetings, phoning a sober person, etc. come in handy. In those moments we use our tools to get through it, sober. Try out this yoga nidra, it always helps me relax and recenter: Yoga Nidra: reduce anxiety, alleviate stress, improve sleep - YouTube

Idk, I wish i didn’t have that stuff in my life but with the way things are going for me it seems to be the only thing that is there for me. The only thing that doesn’t let me down. The only thing that makes me feel better in the moment that is. I don’t know if I can handle this life without it

It’s so hard to see it while you’re in it, but the drugs that you are using to numb the pain, are what is causing the pain to begin with. The temporary relief starts the craving for the next high.

Hold on. You’ve come so far. Remember we just have to take it one day at a time. One hour at a time. One minute at a time. I know it’s hard but with time it’s going to get easier
