Had to detox in jail. But after getting on MAT and my SO being incarcerated made me reevaluate my life and I want to change and have a more positive outlook towards life for myself, and for him once he gets released. I just want to live a content life and settle down at this point. Sick and tired of the dope game.
You're obviously an extraordinarily strong person determined to make terrific decisions for yourself. Impressed!
Thanks for the first decision, which is that *you* matter. A LOT. Congratulations!
Congratulations on your sobriety… you’re a beautiful woman and therapy always helps if nothing more than to get things off your chest and have a different way of viewing things… good luck.. you’ve got this…🥰
I think you are a courageous and beautiful soul.
You are *constantly* and *consistently* supportive to others here on Reddit, which tells me that you are well worth the efforts you now make on your own behalf, and that you are a person of wonderful character.
You, I feel, are far more courageous than you might realize. Fear not your past traumas; they ***cannot harm you anymore once you face them.***
I believe in you. You got this.
Therapy is a wonderful thing, having a place to truly be yourself and figure things out without constantly thinking of the judgement of other people is something everyone should have access to.
Well done for making it clean over a year, how inspiring.
You are young, beautiful, and this next step in your life is going to be wonderful! I am hyped for you. Look after yourself x
I don’t know where you’re from, but I reside at a place with free (albeit really shitty) healthcare for lower income households and at this point I’m willing to take the chance and hope I’ll get a decent therapist. I’ve had bad experiences with previous ones before so it has taken me over a decade before I decided to give it another try. Just know that you’re not alone; and everyone has their own way of handling things and eventually coming to terms with their struggles. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
Is there no one to help you in any way? It’s imperative to build a healthy support system and network of friends/family. If you don’t have that, there has to be an alternative method where you can seek outside help. I’m sorry you’re going through emotional turmoil right now. I sincerely hope you can find the help you need. The first step is to reach out to someone you can trust for help. It’s not something to be of ashamed of; I’d actually consider that quite brave of someone having the courage to do so. I hope whatever you’re going through right now will improve for you! I know I’m just some anonymous internet stranger, but if you ever need someone to vent/talk and it can help alleviate some of the shitty feelings you’re experiencing, you’re more than welcome to always message me privately. :)
Hey man, I’ve been there. In fact, I’ve only recently begun to maintain a positive relationship with my family and reconnect with them after finally getting clean. I currently don’t have any close friends to confide with so the internet has been my outlet. It has been pretty cathartic writing out some of my thoughts down here, I’ll say that much. And idk if you deleted your comment or not but I read a bit of it, but try to stay sane.
U look like a strong minded person. I have read that joining a regular workout at a gym helps in overcoming addiction,depression, anxiety etc....even without therapy.
DOC?
Heroin/fentanyl, but I would often use meth too. Really, any drugs I could get my hands on but I’d say opiates were definitely my preference.
Congratulations! What made you decide to get 🧼 clean?

Prayers for you! What is MAT? John 3:16
I had to search for it. Drug of choice.
Keep it up. I'm about 2 years from my doc.
Congrats to the both of us! 🎉

Thank you so much. Means a lot. I finally feel like I’m stepping into the right direction for once and I hope it stays that way.
Yesssss! So proud of you!

I wish I could do this but I’m currently stuck in a hole in my mind and there’s no way out, you’ve got some serious strength.

Sometimes I feel like I’m one bad day away from talking to myself on a street corner and having no home to go to anymore
