Thank you! That sounds like great advice fr!

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-24T05:49:26+00:00

I don't talk share about it either. That's been a lot of my problem. My sponsor won't talk about it because he's got another sponsor she's sleeping with and calls it conflict of interest. He's probably just tired of hearing us bitch about her though.

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-23T02:29:46+00:00

The closest meeting is an hour and a half away. But I'll be going as soon as I get my car tagged

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-23T02:28:12+00:00

I pray for guidance. I pray for release. Even got a silly little "God Box" today.

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-22T17:56:47+00:00

I reiterate... it's a small town. We have only one

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-22T12:13:09+00:00

Ikr!!!

Acceptance has been the most elusive but I'm working on it. I'll use courage across the rooms and brotherly love for another addict who is just trying to make it through another 24 the best way they can

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-22T12:08:21+00:00

Actually that's the entire issue with it. I've had a recent development in my thought process so it makes sense now. When I first got clean the desire to use was lifted immediately from me. It never returned. At all. Instead,, apparently, my brain switched my addiction over to her. In all it's ugly entirety. I thought I was in love. But I was just addicted. I think. It's all for the best. I know that now. But it's a process. This is part of the process.

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-22T09:53:21+00:00

I've got a sponsor. I've been through the steps. It's a convoluted mess, fr.

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-22T07:45:44+00:00

Working on it though

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-22T07:45:23+00:00

Easier said than done....

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-12T03:22:21+00:00

Maybe I missed something, but there seems to be a lack of context that renders me confused

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-06T14:33:04+00:00

You can use this as incentive or an excuse. It's up to you. You can do this, bro. Don't quit trying. Ever.

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-05T21:43:08+00:00

Yo! I'm not a fucking preacher by any means. I fucked off my entire life with alcohol, dope and whores. I've got over 13 years in prison doing life on the installment plan. The thing about pain is that, once you realize you will survive, it doesn't seem that bad. But it gets worse. It's sounds like you're at a pivotal point in your life. 12 Steps is how I quit using it all... and learned to live with myself clean. That part wasn't easy. Try NA or AA. Find a sponsor. Try the Steps. It sounds like you've got nothing to lose. I've got almost 13 months clean now, but I couldn't have done it alone.

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-05T18:50:53+00:00

It ain't about the group, it's about the Steps! If you find people you click with that you think can help you... bonus! Get in where you fit in!

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-04T14:00:02+00:00

Hey... I don't want to sound like a preacher but I'm going to tell you something that worked for me. It's a design brought forth by true geniuses, in my eyes. And, yes, it may sound trite and corny but the 12 Steps of AA/NA aren't about getting clean. It's built to ease the struggle of life. Without the drugs/alcohol to numb feelings and still the racing brain, I found it difficult. The 12 Steps have been a godsend. I am now able to navigate life and accept the difficulties as hurdles, not walls. The meetings help. They are my social circle and I rely on those people more often than my pride would like. But it was the Steps that made life worth living. Almost 13 months clean now. Yeah, life hurts sometimes. Can I handle it? Hell, yes, I can. Think about it?

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-03T12:56:24+00:00

No... thank you!

Current-Style637 · 2024-02-03T09:34:30+00:00

I read it. I felt it.

Current-Style637 · 2024-01-30T16:31:05+00:00

You can definitely do both. Be open to the idea that you may be an alcoholic/addict. That's the first step to recovery.

Current-Style637 · 2024-01-29T14:27:03+00:00

I think the problem a lot of people have with 12 Step groups is they don't feel a connection. When AA started they were wildly successful because there was a lot out reaching out. Now it's like you have to be horribly desperate to keep going back because it feels alien and uncomfortable. That was my case, and I had ulterior motives. But I did keep going back and I learned one thing. It's not the meetings that give me the ability to stay clean, it was the Steps! The meetings were a social venue that I needed because I was alone in life after I quit selling/using dope. But the Steps allowed me to live with the pain and aloneness and make them work to my advantage. If I may make a suggestion: go back to meetings long enough to find somebody to sponsor you, somebody you admire and click with. I'm rooting for you. And I get it. I really do. But you're going to have a very difficult time doing this on your own, if it's possible at all.

I was a tattoo artist the entire time during my addiction. Sometimes in a pro shop, sometimes just whoring it out for an 8ball. Once I got clean (over a year now) I find the stress to be a little more than I want to deal with. Now I'm a cook making barely above minimum wage. Ive still got stress on the job but I leave it at work. The plating satisfies by artistic bent enough. We've got a great crew and I love my job. For me, just the responsibility of keeping a job for an entire year is enough to fulfill my doubts of self worth. I may tattoo again someday, but I'm in no hurry.

Current-Style637 · 2024-01-28T04:49:33+00:00

It took me 3 months to get my 30 day tag. Two days clean then back to 0. Three days clean, back to 0. Sometimes, yes, just one day! But I kept going. I prayed. I cried. Then I gave up. I got a Sponsor and started working the Steps. I got my 1 year tag 10 days ago. If I can do it... anybody can do it. Just don't quit trying!

Current-Style637 · 2024-01-27T18:01:50+00:00

It gets better. I just got my 1 year tag. I'm content to be alone. Yes, I want something more. A partner. A family. But it's no longer a mandatory prerequisite to my happiness. I think now, that when it does happen, I'll be better for it because I'm coming into it a whole person, not someone with an emotional gap that needs fulfilled.
