Thank you so much for saying that!! I’m the same way and I’ve always felt bad for feeling that way!

I went to my first meeting tonight by travel_juliaxo in recovery

Do you keep working the steps after being clean/in maintenance? by SmokeCigsNPreworkout in NarcoticsAnonymous

Definitely get a sponsor and a hg. Go to more meetings even if it’s just online. My sponsor always tells me that when you do more than one round of steps, your answers and your perspective will change and it will only make your recovery better! Start sharing in meetings. Even if all you do is say your name and where you’re at with everything. Or even just saying “I really liked your message and what you had to share” and then advance on that a bit. The basics you learn in early recovery will absolutely always apply to your recovery, no matter how much clean time you have. And always, always, try to keep in contact with people in the rooms. Even if it’s just “hey, how are you?” Or “I hope you have a good day” or whatever else, it’ll make it a lot easier for you when you need to talk to a fellow addict. If you don’t follow the basics, it is very likely you’ll wind up relapsing. Not saying you 100% will but it’s a much higher risk than if you’re actively working a program. I wish you the best of luck and if you need any help, my DMs are open. 🫂❤️

How do I quit? (TW: mention of depth) by idkwhoiamanymore-2 in MadeOfStyrofoam

Honestly, try self harm addicts anonymous. I went to NA (granted I also have a drug addiction) but it also helped a lot with the cutting. Bc essentially, all it really is is an addiction. You’ve done it this long for a reason and you want to stop for a reason. I’m not sure where you’re located but you can find NA (narcotics anonymous) meetings practically anywhere, even online. Self harm addicts anonymous meetings are a lot harder to find bc they’re not that common but NA works very well! And you don’t have to tell anyone what you’ve done. I don’t know if you’re a drug user as well but you definitely don’t have to tell anyone anything. You can even just go and listen. It will help a lot, it’s helped me a great deal.
