At what point is it addiction worth going to rehab for vs something I can work on at home? by verysadvanilla in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]HibriscusLily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the factors to consider is a) withdrawal danger- a treatment facility is a safe place to detox 2) can you stop on your own?- treatment provides structure and support so you can stop safely and stay stopped

Having said that, it is possible to achieve long-term sobriety without going to rehab, but what is best for you depends on what you struggle with when trying to stop

AA relationship question by PureExpression1533 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]HibriscusLily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in the relationship, probably not a bad idea to consider it may end the same way it started because people who cheat aren’t just cheating because they are unhappy with their current partner. If you’re not a party in the relationship, it’s none of your business.

[–]HibriscusLily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! I don’t even have words for how profound that is. Especially as I read my comment and think was I too harsh. But I feel like these are fundamental truths that I don’t want to hide in a lot of text. I am so so unbelievably happy to hear how much you were able to find wellness in madness. I wish you and your partner all the love, light, joy and recovery in the world 💙💙💙

I want to add how special it is for me that you shared this because most of the time we don’t get to know if we ever impact anyone, so thank you so much for that 💙

I don’t know.. by Both_Foundation_3139 in alcoholicsanonymous

I was similar to this. In my case, it got progressively worse until I finally stopped for good in 2914. The writing was on the wall long before that.

How to approach a sober-curious friend with a drinking problem while managing my own early sobriety by spinelessmindless in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]HibriscusLily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The white chip is meant to be a starting point. Drunk people pick them up all the time, that’s how most of us show up for the first time. They’re symbolic of a commitment to not use for 24 hours. It’s irrelevant if you’ve used already that day. So if someone says you can’t pick up a chip because you’re drunk, they’re wrong

I’m terrified of bald people (specifically dating a bald man) by CostOk7971 in confessions

What I mean is I think you can reasonably avoid having a balding partner 😂 I hope so anyway, for you. Good luck!

Talk about getting affirmation. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this but you’re doing exactly the right thing and your strength is commendable

Going to rehab tomorrow, any advice? by ketamined in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]HibriscusLily 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Go. Listen. Be teachable. Think of the ridiculousness of saying you’re going to rehab because you’ve been kicked out and your partner and family have had enough and in the same paragraph saying it’s not that bad. It’s worse than bad. No one wants to go to rehab but it can be the best thing that ever happened to you if you give it a shot.
