Get through the first week and then see how you feel about it. Are we there yet?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76503390 Canada 04/24/2018 07:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just from my own experience, If you're going to relapse and you know you are going to relapse, instead of going back to what you were doing(ie: booze, hard drugs) just buy a bag of weed instead and smoke the pot. That should help you not to go back full bore into the downward spiral of hard drugs and will help you through the boredom. But only do this as a last resort like if the boredom is too much and you feel yourself itching and slipping. It worked for me. I was even able to quit smoking cigs by substituting with pot. The herb can work miracles to help kick addictions. . |

(OP) User ID: 75279488 Canada 04/24/2018 07:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I got someone holding onto my money this time so I don't fuck it up AGAIN! the hangover, comedowns and regret have only been getting worse. figured I should try something new, plus I realize I'm a fucking idiot when I'm fucked up, plus I close myself off from everyone in my day to day life. today will be the first day going without smokes. stopped detoxing from opiates since monday and smoked a bowl of res to stop the restless legs that night but it only made things so much worse. restless legs and restless mind.... been loving the dreams I'm having though! that's a plus, feels like I haven't dreamed in years. |

User ID: 75526809 United States 04/24/2018 07:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When the day came and I could ask myself if I would do ANYTHING to change, and the answer was yes - it set the ball moving in the right direction. I checked myself into a residential 6 month rehab program. Worked the 12 steps. Graduated from rehab, joined the program they had for graduates. Got a job and lived in their half way house, rent was $350 per month. Continued going to 12 step meetings. My sobriety date is July 8th 2012. Today I am a homeowner and have a career. I have a respectable retirement account. I have a wonderful girlfriend. My relationship with my family is better than it ever was. But most importantly, I am happy and I sleep well at night. I do not live with regrets and I do not crave or chase intoxication. I have my life back. The same peace and comfort I knew as a child before the days of partying began. If that sounds like something you want - I'll ask you.. Are you willing to do ANYTHING to change your life? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76166713 United States 04/24/2018 08:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's difficult. I have several bouts of failed sobriety behind me. I'm not a drunk per se, but love having a few beers every day and having at least one good drunk during the weekend. I've made it a week and a half, I'm getting stronger. The older I get the more aware I am of it dragging me down health and energy-wise. |
