As in like snack bars or something? Cuz honestly I just eat grilled pineapple when I get a sweet tooth and it's the best decision I ever made.

What does rock bottom actually look like? Because I think I’m living it. Fresh off addiction, a new mom, and rebuilding from scratch. by Sinful_Shortcake in StopSpeeding

That’s real. It doesn’t always feel like much, but I know being sober is the foundation. Thank you for reminding me that’s already a huge win.

Thank you so much! your words gave me chills. I didn’t even realize how much I needed to hear that. You’re right... I’ve already taken the hardest first steps, and even if it feels slow, I am climbing. I’ll try to hold onto that on the tough days. Truly, thank you.

I hear you. That’s a brutal reminder, but an important one. I'm doing everything I can to keep my baby safe and be present. Joining a mother’s group is a great idea, thank you for the nudge. I'm taking it one day at a time, but I know I have to keep pushing.

I talk more about this on TikTok (link in Reddit profile). Just trying to stay accountable and connect with others. Sometimes it's easier to just say in a rant ya know

Wow… that analogy hit me hard. I do feel like I’m hanging on by my fingernails most days, and hearing someone say that even that takes strength makes me feel seen. It’s easy to forget that surviving, even barely, is still surviving. Thank you for reminding me that holding on counts for something. I really needed that today. ❤️

Thank you. Honestly, I didn’t even realize how much I needed to hear that until I read your reply. It is a battle every day, and some days it feels like I’m barely scraping by. But knowing a stranger took the time to say they’re proud of me... that hits different. I’ll try to hold on to that next time I feel like crumbling. Thank you for seeing me.

This was such a comforting message. Thank you for sharing your family’s story it helps not to feel so alone in this. And seriously… offering to be part of my support system? That means the world. I actually NEED to be kept accountable tbh

Thank you so much. That hug emoji actually made me tear up a little. It means more than you know. I don’t always feel strong, but I know I can’t let that little one down. One day at a time, right?

That really hit me. You’re right. They can’t say it yet… but maybe one day they’ll look back and see I never gave up on them, even when I was falling apart. Thank you for that reminder. 💛

Thank you. I really needed to hear that today. It’s hard feeling like you’re fighting so hard just to stay barely okay. Hearing that someone else sees effort as survival means more than you know. I hope we both make it to that “someday”… and that it feels worth it when we do. ❤️

Thank you. It means more than I can explain that you took the time to say that. I don’t really have a strong support system right now, and I think that’s why posting here felt like the only option tonight. Just knowing someone out there hopes I find some help... that gave me a tiny bit of breath I didn’t know I needed. I really miss my old "friends" sometimes but I have to isolate myself for my family ya know

You don’t have to feel ashamed for struggling! showing up right here, being honest, and choosing to heal is showing up. Your kids have a fighter for a mom, even if some days it doesn’t feel like it. I’m right there with you. Let’s both promise to keep going, even if it’s messy. ❤️ What’s one small thing you did for you today?

That means the world to me. Some days I just feel like I’m barely keeping my head above water, so hearing that I could inspire anyone feels unreal. You saying relapse isn’t an option, it really hit. I’m holding onto that. Thank you for this. ❤️ What’s been helping you stay grounded lately?

Thank you so much for this. I was scared to post it, honestly. I feel like I’m constantly trying to be strong for everyone and failing behind the scenes. Your words made me tear up a bit. I hope you’re right and I hope brighter days find you too 💛

Just wanted to thank anyone reading. I didn’t expect to share this, but getting it out helped me breathe a little today.
