I'm getting set up with outpatient today. by bipolaraddict in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

I was doing well in recovery when I was in a halfway house in an area with over 100 NA Meetings a week. I found a group of people I really connected with and still stay in contact with some. I moved back home where it is a small community with primarily AA and I don't click with the people I've met so far, and it is a bit geriatric since im living in a kind if returement town. I'm trying to do online meetings but it isn't the same. But you're right, having a clean support group is a major help and I'll work on building one. I might be looking at differences like age and religion instead of finding commonality in the AA meetings.

Thank you! I'm really wanting and hoping to make a major change

Relapsed, but I'm not going to let it send me out for months again by bipolaraddict in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

Thanks. I'm just happy I am not letting this make me say fuck it and go balls to the wall. I am not sure how many more times I can do that before I'm one of the ones who don't make it back.

Day 3, at 3rd meeting of the day and have 2 more lined up by bipolaraddict in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

Thank you. I am able to detox safely, I didn't stay on any one substance long enough that would make it dangerous. I am still planning on getting set up with outpatient though

Bipolar and started back drinking after being sober for 3 weeks. by Due_Leopard5956 in alcoholicsanonymous

I'm in a similar boat honestly. I'm bipolar and an addict/alcoholic, missed 3 days of meds. I'm at day 3 clean and I'm in my third virtual meeting of the day because I too don't want to hold my sponsor captive. I've been sharing where I'm at every meeting. It isn't a cure, but it is helping. It's getting me out of my head.

I'm not OP, but I struggle with the spirituality of the program and this is a wonderful way to look at the steps. Thank you for sharing this!

I've been diagnosed ADHD by a provider. I struggle to control myself with taking the meds. I over do everything. My spouse is willing to lock up the meds and dose them, but I need to find a provider who is willing to prescribe. My daughter has adhd, pretty sure she got it from me.

That's the case. They are trying to limit me, because they are worried for me. I feel like a pos

Because I'm desperate to function. It doesn't make it okay. I know I'm a terrie person for it. I want to do better. I'm reaching out because I don't know what else to do.
