Hello, I have an addiction.. I don't want to get into to much detail here.. but i was hoping to talk to someone or even just get advice from someone who has gone through the recovery process before.. As much as i want to, i know im not ready, i want to get better, but the feeling i get from my addiction is something that i don't want to let go of yet.. sometimes i let me convince myself that I don't have an addiction.. that it's been a choice to endulge. Please if you have some advice reply, i would really like if someone who has been through recovery would message me though, thank you.

Hey there, battling same thing today. I'm so mad at myself. I went through recovery. It's fucking hard. It really is. Not just in a sense of giving up whatever it is you do, but it's so much more. You'll learn do much. And it's worth it. Even though I went back I will never forget where suppose to be, try it. Be strong. And if you have any questions I'm here for you

I agree with faithful it isnt a walk in the park, but going into a recovery program greatly increases your chances of staying sober. Assuming you take the program seriously and take in all it has to offer. I have gone through recovery more than once, im thankful everyday for the opportunities I had to get medical help. Alot of people arent as fortunate and are doomed to live the life of a using addict. Im sure one or all of these wonderful listeners has helped you find what you're looking for but if you feel like talking about this or any other related concerns id be more than happy to assist. (Doesn't have to be drug related i can listen to whatever you have going on)

I understand that... I went clean for 3 years then I had a relapse... Im addicted to cutting and now I am back where I started... cutting every single day.

If anyone needs help with recovery don't be afraid to ask. I have dealt with addictions my whole life. They have even destroyed some of the beautiful things in my life. Don't feel like you're broken and don't let someone think that. You're worthy of great rhings.

I know this responce isnt much help, but I just want to point out how great it is that you admit you have an addiction and you are reaching out for help. That alone is a HUGE step in the right direction. You can do this.
