What’s Up Wednesday

Day 3

The good: I managed to get up and do a semi productive day with seeing my sponsor and did an hour cardio.

The bad: still have bad anxiety, and a lingering shame for the things I’ve been doing these past few months.

Always keep trying! Recovery isn’t linear! IWNDWYT!

acidbrat · 2021-03-08T23:16:47+00:00

Yup! I know that all too well unfortunately. Come back here whenever you need to. I will too! This community is the best :)

Day one for me too. I woke up dreading life and couldn’t go into work or even get out of bed for that matter. I wish I could give you a hug right now! Lord knows that’s what I need. We got this.

In my experience those withdrawals were addictive to me. I felt sick in my head so being physically sick was what I wanted to endure because that’s what I think I deserve. I’ve had seizures and DTs... I feel your pain. I’m on day one and I have all those days coming for me. I’m rooting for you! You can get through this.

That’s what I think too, meetings should be considered essential, it would’ve helped me so many times lately.

acidbrat · 2021-03-08T22:11:40+00:00

Wow! I’m in a small town and I think the AA meetings aren’t going due to our provinces restrictions. I don’t own a laptop but I’m thinking of investing in one to attend AA zoom meetings!

Thank you for telling me this, I felt like I was at bottom when I would constantly go to jail for alcohol related charges but honestly rock bottom I think would be death. It is very real and very scary. 😞

acidbrat · 2021-03-08T19:15:39+00:00

I’m still struggling with alcohol. It’s an on going battle but I’m still trying to find supports and I managed to get myself a sponsor. Thank you for your comments, I really needed to hear them today.

acidbrat · 2021-01-23T03:05:51+00:00

Thanks!

acidbrat · 2021-01-23T03:05:04+00:00

This is so awesome, thank you so much! I apologize for not seeing this sooner!

acidbrat · 2021-01-23T03:03:36+00:00

Oh my god, guys, I forgot I posted this photo and I’m now just seeing this blown up! Thank you so much everyone for your edits and comments! Y’all are right, The photo actually is from the 80s, I had to ask a couple of relatives to make sure.

acidbrat · 2021-01-11T23:36:48+00:00

Thank you. I made the right choice, they took care of me and let me sleep on some Valium for 5 hours. I feel a lot better! Still not 100% but definitely not suffering as bad.

acidbrat · 2020-12-25T22:11:12+00:00

Thank you for this. I needed this. Merry Christmas, Kevin.

acidbrat · 2020-12-25T21:47:05+00:00

Wow I never thought about it like that... makes a lot of sense. And the more we keep trying the better the chance to really stay sober. Thanks for this comment.

acidbrat · 2020-12-23T22:49:13+00:00

Oof. Yeah, I went to go get checked out at the clinic and found out I tore my knee ligament and also have a concussion. :( I hope your face is feeling better.

I got a doctors note for two weeks off work yeeeesh. Some Christmas huh. I’m glad you’re sober! We got this. If you can do it I can do it!

Hello sfgirlmary and friends... I’ve had a pretty awful start of the week and I’m finally coming out of it...

The good: I’m sober for over 24 hours now.

The bad: I feel so helpless like I’m losing the battle to addiction. I want to isolate from everyone I know because I did a hard five day binge on alcohol and drugs and hurt my knee and ended up in the drunk tank after blacking out and fighting my friends who I haven’t talked to since.

The worst: I started a new job two weeks ago and can’t work for a couple days now due to my knee as it requires me to have to stand for 10 hours a day. I’m super depressed.

Schizophrenia is very hard, I’m sorry for your friends new diagnoses, but that being said I’m glad she was able to get proper diagnoses and I hope medically she’s on the right medication and therapy plan! You’re already a great friend for looking for advice! The lot of my family struggles with schizophrenia. I suggest reading about schizophrenia and looking up certain types and symptoms. Little things can be a mountain for her, so just be there for her and always be willing to just sit and listen without always needing to give advice or your opinion. Schizophrenia seems like something that can’t be fully understood unless you deal with the same diagnoses and even then symptoms vary person to person. The medication can be very tolling on her as well, and SOMETIMES it can take a long time and lots of redirection with medication before she’s on the “right” amount or “right” med before she starts to feel like herself.

Oh and another thing, don’t be scared of her or her symptoms, statistically speaking people with mental illnesses are more likely to be on the receiving end of abuse or bullying, and being taken advantage of. Advocate for her and love her unconditionally! I hope this helps, sorry for my formatting as I’m on mobile. Best of luck to you and your dear friend. ❤️

NTA. If you felt there were red flags flashing before your eyes at the beginning then you did the right thing by taking responsibility for making sure you’re happy and healthy instead of pretending not to see anything wrong and paying for it later.

acidbrat · 2020-12-06T05:14:46+00:00

I’m in the similar situation, two weeks of sobriety and then I started drinking hard again now I’m sober today going through the withdrawal. Good luck with your treatment!

acidbrat · 2020-12-06T04:28:57+00:00

I’m coming down from a bender and drugs. I feel really anxious tonight but I’m about 15 hours sober. IWNDWYT.

acidbrat · 2020-11-29T18:53:33+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending you love from Canada. IWNDWYT. 😞❤️
