...See more Hey hope everyone’s okay just wondering if anyone has any real life experience with overcoming alcohol i know I have a problem The thought alone of buying beer or whiskey and drinking alone excites me more than anything tbh even though when I do it always ends in tears and pain although I am happy to endure that pain to experience the little moment of peacefulness and happiness I just want to be able to go back to normal and not need to drink to talk to people and not need to drink to be an actually interesting person or just a person in general Im exactly like my dad with drinking and I *** hate it

...See more I hope we can make the flames of compassion burn brighter towards persons battling with addiction. Nobody wakes up and chooses addiction. Behind every struggle is a story, a broken heart, or a mistake. It’s time we replace judgment with compassion and help our loved ones find their way back home. Let's heal together, not hate.

...See more I haven’t written here in a few years and so much has changed…..but then has it Actually found myself a decent man yet managed to ruin that with all my trauma and just “being me” - everyone leaves Today I have to go to the place it all started….I asked a guy to inject me with meth and ended up lucky to be alive I was sold My other half and I are breaking up and yet struggling to seperate. He knows everything which was huge for me and doesn’t even care what I have to face today cause of work and unfortunate circumstances no choice I got drunk last night telling him which led to him frustrated and feeling triggered himself cause I cut him off……but I needed the support This morning all he did was ask if he could do anything I’m sitting here at work almost more deverstated not having him do something that anything else

...See more I’m 17 and I drink almost whenever I can. It’s not a physical need, but I don’t want to feel sober because otherwise my problems seem too heavy to bear. Can this be considered addiction? If not, at what point does it become one?

...See more A Message of Hope and Strength 🌟 Hello everyone!!! 👋🏻 I’m Kayla, and I’m truly honored to introduce myself to this incredible community. I am also truly honored to be the new Forum Supporter for this community!!!! I’ve been sober for 3 years and 7 months now, and it has been a journey full of ups and downs. But through each challenge, I’ve discovered that recovery is not just about staying clean—it’s about rebuilding yourself, finding your strength, and learning how to embrace life with a clear mind and an open heart. 💪🏻💖 For the past 3 years, I’ve worked in the Recovery Field, and I’m currently blessed to be part of an amazing Recovery Center. I am incredibly passionate about being there for my fellow addicts, helping them reach their goals, and just letting them know that recovery IS possible. 🙌🏻Every day, I witness the power of change, and I believe with all my heart that no matter where you are in your journey, there is always hope. You are never alone in this. 🌈 To anyone here struggling, I want you to know that it gets better. It might not seem like it right now, but with time, support, and a commitment to your own healing, you can find your way out. I stand as proof that recovery is possible, and every small step forward is progress. The road ahead may feel long, but each day you stay sober is a victory. 🏆 Let’s continue supporting each other and sharing our stories because together, we are stronger. I’m here to listen, share, and support anyone who needs it. Let’s lift each other up and remind ourselves that recovery is a gift worth fighting for. 💫 Fun Check-In Before we wrap up, let’s do a quick check-in! If you could describe your recovery journey in one word today, what would it be? Drop your word below and let’s celebrate our progress, no matter how big or small! 🎉 @blueFan4699 @braveHuman6773 @jrk27 @Kitamean @PeanutButterMurph @texaswily @tommy @tornwillow @transurvivor @veronikamalik
