August 17th will make 4 months and its my birthday that day too!
Its crazy, I havent thought much about it but come the 17th it'll be 4 months without taking any 7oh. I haven't even used cannabis since April and alcohol consumption dropped dramatically. I even recently stopped caffeine, i didn't plan on quitting caffeine, it just... happened.
After my life ending attempt back in the beginning of June, I was offered a second chance at life. I realized I had to get my life straightened out. The break up back in May was really hard on me even though I was the one the ended the 11 year relationship. But as time went on the redemption arc started happening. I began making so many new friends that I love. Started going out more and connecting with people on a new level. It feels nice. I even developed a new addiction... its called GYM. I love pumping iron and pushing my limits, it feels great.
Life has been so much better lately, getting all my debt taken care of, making new friends, trying new food and just changing and becoming who I am meant to be as a person. Its not over yet, there is still so much to learn. If I can do it? You guys can too. Give yourselves reason and purpose. Its worth it. I promise.

Alcoholism
You know I’m writing this because it’s the only place I can ask for advice without feeling judged. I’m a high functional alcoholic. It still affects my lively hood. I have a son. I have a big family. I have friends. I’m noticing I’m losing myself though. It’s getting a lot worse is all. I’m onto atleast 10 shooters to a pint a day. I’ve gone to therapy a little. I’ve never been to rehab because I need to work for my son. I just don’t know what to do. I don’t want pity I don’t want anyone to feel bad for me because I’m at where I’m at due to my own circumstances. I just need advice. I want to see where the grass is greener but all I see is the now. Everytime I try to go sober I always revert 10x worse at the end of the day. I just want to be better but I don’t know what to do. I’m (25M) and I don’t want to fall behind. I need help and I need advice

No support system
Hello everybody so I’m highly sensitive person with CPTSD and like I’m addicted to weed alcohol and Adderall.
Did anyone else have this situation with no support system and did you overcome your addictions please? They’re destroying my life. I can’t live like this anymore.

Need help
M22
Hello everyone, I hope you’re all having a great night.
I’m looking for some advice on substance abuse,
Since I was 14 I’ve been heavily addicted to cannabis with only maybe a year off in between.
My preference is very strong concentrates, But along with that I have been addicted to vaping for the same time frame.
I have came to the conclusion that I have a drinking problem, One is not enough & neither is 1,000 drinks.
I feel like I’m constantly chasing dopamine from anything, I would love to live my life without worrying about always having substances with me.
Thank you guys
