You guys, I’ve been trying for 3 years to quit

You guys, I’ve been trying for 3 years to quit doing cocaine for 30 days. It seemed impossible. Then I tried for 14 days, it still didn’t happen. Then I tried for 10 days and I failed over and over miserably. Today I have officially hit my original goal of 30 days. I can’t even describe how I’m feeling. I am so grateful for this community, I truly couldn’t have done it without your help. Im starting to realize I’m not the bad guy, I’m not a monster, and I’m not weak. I CAN do this and I will. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being here.

I’m proud of you. That’s great. Well it’s not vacation. I’ll be doing a trade show with a Phoenix convention center.

Good job! Try telling yourself when you get the urge - "no matter what I'm not doing it today; maybe tomorrow. " That got me to not pick up a drink for a year and 6 months now.

That's impressive Ally! Congratulations on reaching 30 days sober! Is there any advice you could give for those in a similar situation?

Yes some things that helped were remembering to literally take it a day at a time. If I tried to think past that I’d become overwhelmed. Another thing is to be aware. Sometimes I’d think I was safe around certain people but then they’d be the ones to offer it to me. I didn’t cave, but it was hard af so stay strong. It’s worth it. A few weekends ago there was 5 of us who went on a trip, 3 of us who said we weren’t going to drink, and I was the only one who came back still sober. That would be the last thing I can offer: Do it for you.
