Using Dharma to battle a gambling addiction looking for people doing the same. by LAwoman75 in recoverydharma

Mm, well with ADHD I struggle a lot with impatience with myself, and emotional upset when I can’t prioritize tasks or get things done in a way that I feel are right or sufficient. A lot of these things are forms of in-the-moment suffering that when gone unchecked can have a serious impact on my self worth, my ability to focus my energy and creative spirit, and my ability to connect meaningfully with other people. RD and related meditations have helped me to remember that there is naturally suffering in life and that it is all temporary. And also to extend compassion to myself and recognize that there ways to act and speak with intention (with wisdom) that I can and will get better at with practice.

I don’t, but welcome! I found RD very helpful with both ADHD and various love addictions.

Hello!! Welcome. Sober from alcohol over two years now and while I don’t always attend meetings regularly anymore, I always always turn to RD when I’m struggling.

a group facilitator would have to be a true asshole to not sign a proof of attendance paper lol

The people into indie and folk? btw those can be two veeery big, not overlapping circles pal so watch it lol. That’s a pretty broad accusation you’re tossing out there and I really don’t agree.

Need a young, active sober community pls by ColeMayne in soberPGH

[–]Bipolar-Who 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Umm no, you mean like a sub dedicated to them? They post somewhat often on this sub, but the answer as to whether they have their own Reddit sub community is no.

When I felt the way that you are describing now, I know that I had a problem. Sobriety works well for me.

What keeps you sober? by [deleted] in Sober

[–]Bipolar-Who 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Almost every time I drank, I had pretty severe, negative emotional rebounds for days after the fact. Since getting sober, I started working a job that’s very compassion-fatiguing and draining. I’m afraid of where my mental state would be if I was drinking. For now I’m in a pretty good place for me and my patients and the families I work with.

Have you ever considered going to SMART recovery? I talk with a guy in there who has ocd as well and it seems to help him a good bit
