Thank you i really need support while going thru this just talk to people who are going thru this or have gone thru it
So glad you’re here! I been saying that a lot lately which is amazing because there are so many new members. Makes my heart happy. It might not feel so happy right now… I know, if you just keep going you’ll know what I mean. Lots of of amazing support here, keep coming back .

@diana404805 You can do this. Just take it one day at a time sometimes it will be 30 seconds at a time. Either way just not today.
Here let's try this. If you can lay your head down on your pillow tonight, sober, then you conquered the day. If you can wake up rather than come to the next morning then you have not only conquered the day then you were victorious over the past 24 hours. It's ok if you can't then we try again until we can.
You can do this my friend. I believe in you.

Just stay honest with yourself and have a totem, programs like aa and na give chips and tags but the idea of a totem is much much older it's having something tangible something you can have with you at all time that holds a connection to something an idea a believe in this case a desire to be clean when you hold it place the energy of that desire into it by simply thinking and feeling thst desire to be clean try and kerp it positive and then keep it with you so that when you feel tempted or week you can hold it in your hand and receive that encouragement
Wow thank u so much for that great idea! Again thank u
