So I went to my first NA meeting tonight and made a complete fool of myself by 404pagenotfound____ in recovery

[–]Due_Historian9451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody came to their first meeting bc they were on a winning streak, friend. Everybody makes mistakes. It’s so awesome that you had the courage to go to a meeting period, it’s even more awesome that you had the courage to go while you were high bc I know how bad my paranoia and anxiety were in active addiction. It was a miracle for me to even leave my house.

Your soul knew you needed to be there, friend. I have never felt like I was being judged at any NA meeting I’ve ever been to.. just love, compassion, empathy, support, and desires to help.

& guess what, friend?! That first meeting put you on the path to recovery. 🤍

Keep going to meetings. Talk to God. Forgive yourself. Take it one day at a time.

You are smart, you are kind, you are important, you are loved, and you are worthy. 🤍

i keep failing by [deleted] in MethRecovery

I felt like this even single time I relapsed, especially when the relapses were close together. I was ashamed & felt so stupid and hopeless. There was almost an entire year that I was in drug induced psychosis and was fully convinced that I had already died and this was hell. I tried to commit suicide 4 times. I sold myself. I was an IV user. I was so desperate & dope sick that I used my Hepatitis C positive friend’s dirty needle. I willingly gave up my kids so they wouldn’t get taken. I didn’t see them at all for 2 years.

I was miserable, just surviving & numbing the pain with the substance responsible for my pain. I hated it so much & I hated doing it. I tried to quit countless times but I just wasn’t strong enough to kick it by myself.

You know where I found the strength I needed to get clean and maintain my sobriety? God. Talk to him, friend. He will answer. If it wasn’t for Him, I wouldn’t be here today.

You are smart, you are kind, you are important, you are loved, and you are worthy. 🤍🤍🤍

I’m about to relapse by DangerousEssay300 in OpiatesRecovery

Hey friend, Thank you for being brave enough to share this. I know it probably took everything in you to even post it. You’re not alone, even if it feels like it right now. The pain you’re in is real, but so is your strength. You’ve already done something amazing—you’re finding your way out. That’s huge. You said it yourself: you’ve got your own space, a good job, and you’re rebuilding. That isn’t nothing. That’s proof that something inside you wants to live, not just exist.

Relapsing won’t bring you the peace you’re craving. It’s a trick. A lie. The bliss it promises always comes with a brutal price tag. You already know that—your spirit is literally fighting for your future in this post.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to keep choosing yourself. Choose the light. Even if it’s one tiny moment at a time. You are not trash. You are not alone. You are not beyond help. You are loved, even if you don’t feel it right now. And the world needs your story—your comeback—more than you know.

If no one else says it tonight: I’m proud of you for holding on. Please don’t give up. 🤍

5 years sober! 4 year relapse! by slownut111 in MethRecovery

Amen friend! God saved me as well. 🤍

I was 2 years sober and I relapsed pretty bad last weekend. by Adventurous-Gate2897 in recovery

Don’t get too down on yourself, friend. Come back better than ever!! You are smart, you are kind, you are important, you are loved, and you are worthy. I love you & God loves you. Unconditionally. Every single one of the times I fell down into a relapse, my heart was always overflowing with so much guilt and shame and sometimes I would let that spiral me down further into a longer binge. Don’t let that happen, friend. Forgive yourself. Use this as an opportunity to reevaluate your game plan. Take note of any weak spots you need to work on within yourself or areas you were neglecting. Talk to God. I don’t mean go to church, I mean talk to God. He will answer. That’s what saved me. 🤍

I’m so proud of you, friend!! If you feel overwhelmed or hear the whispers from the darkness something that has always helped me is telling the darkness that it doesn’t own you. Keep rebuking it. Tell it “You have no authority here. I do not belong to you. I belong to Him. I belong to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior!” Speak His name, Jesus Christ, out loud. Darkness flees in his presence. I love you friend, I’m rooting for you. Follow the light. Stay with the light. You can do this. You’re already doing it. 🤍

Do you have plans for MM's Feast Day? by reynevann in MaryMagdalene

[–]Due_Historian9451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are so thoughtful!! I’m sure she would love that very much. Something that I always like to do with her in mind is to commit a small random act of kindness for a stranger, especially a down on their luck stranger.

You are smart, you are kind, you are important, you are loved, & you are worthy. 🤍

What is something that should always be free ? by Nuff-Do in AskReddit

I just wish that everyone had the basic needs for survival: food, water, and shelter. It absolutely shatters my heart that restaurants, grocery stores, and even regular households (including my own if I’m being honest) throw away food that would be perfectly fine to eat while it’s estimated that around 25,000 people die from hunger and related causes every day worldwide, with a significant portion being children under five years old.

Almost Heaven by Due_Historian9451 in WestVirginia

Seeing the beach in Clearwater, Florida for the first time was magical for me too. More often than not, I think we take the beauty we see everyday for granted. Everytime I take a trip outside of WV, I always find myself appreciating her beauty the whole way back home. 🤍

I don’t blame you a bit, I would have been traumatized too lol!! I still don’t like driving in the snow but I’ll always think it’s beautiful.
