Please you guys, as someone who came from a family with addicts, keep it up!
I've seen first hand how much a person changes for the better when they get sober and how messed up they become when they get back on the wagon. So I'm hoping to convince you to keep sober because not only will it improve your lifestyle but it will make the people around you who truly care about you be at ease.
I'm proud of each and everyone of you who made it at as far as you did :)
So well said. I sobered up for two years and met my wife, found a job I had passion in, bought a house and a dog. Went back in the saddle and within six months I had damn near burned it all to the ground. Sent the horse out to pasture and now expecting my first child soon. No going back now. I will not drink today and tomorrow will take care of itself.
As a guy who lost the love of his life a year and a half ago to her inability to kick the addiction this comment brought tears to my eyes. We were together for 34 years until the damage sustained by her excessive alcohol consumption finally overcame her ability to heal both mentally and physically. You have given yourself and everyone that cares at all about you a gift that is beyond description by not having to endure the pain of the future drunken events that you won't have to do or answer for. I wish you and yours many more years of success in your sobriety. Good luck it IS worth it.
She was so sick that her passing was a release from the misery that she was dealing with. I am doing better. The last 10 years have been a slow motion train wreck with the final result known but having to wait for the details. I am doing as well as can be expected and the good days out number the bad but at 56 this is not the life that I expected to be living at this time. We started dating when I was 20 , married when I was 25 and widowed at 55.
calling a drug addict messed up is just wrong. they already feel bad enough, they don’t need people who can’t relate to their situation trying to make them feel worse.
if you’ve never been addicted to drugs you should keep your mouth shut and shouldn’t be commenting on it. you’re just invalidating their problems
So lies, robbery, betrayal of family & friends are all someone else’s fault. Let’s not make the addicts life worse by making them take responsibility for their actions.
Congrats fam! I got sober the summer before covid. Can't tell you how grateful I was to not have to try and score during the pandemic. All the sketchy people I would have had to meet up with. Sitting around in trap houses. Yup don't miss that
December 24th 2020 when I realized I was more focused on Percocet than being with my family during the holidays. December 25th 2020 is my sobriety day. Happy birthday OP, cheers to sobriety and all the endeavors it takes to overcome. We are always here for you!
Good job on getting clean. Them pills don't play around and I've lost a couple friends that moved on to heroin from there until they died of od. Wishing the best fpr your recovery
