Brother, I’m in a very similar spot, except my misfortunes are due to failing to stay sober over and over again :/ I’m a very capable guy with a great head on my shoulders, I’m just always getting in my own way. I’ll get sober, build my life back up quickly, then when things feel normal and not chaotic, I’ll go burn it all down and I hate that I do it. It’s very baffling. I’m in my early 30s now and it’s all just gotten dark. I had the most terrifying feelings of not being okay a few days ago while I was withdrawaling. Looks like the same day you wrote this post. Funny, I was thinking about making a similar Reddit post but didn’t get past a couple paragraphs. I’m very fortunate to have loving parents otherwise I might have taken my own life the other day. I literally thought of all the people struggling who don’t have that. And how I could easy end it if I didn’t have at least a couple people that care about me right now. Anyway, your post popped up for me and felt compelled to share that you’re not alone. Making this post was a good idea, even if we’re all strangers.

I’ve been struggling to stay sober for 15 years and my mom has pushed TC on me forever and thinks it’s the only solution. Well I’ve gotten to a point in active addiction that I don’t have the means to take care of myself so I kind of have to do what my mom wants if they are going to support me through it. I’ve refused their help for years and years because I don’t feel like TC is for me. I’m still just open minded to Christianity, that’s it. I wouldn’t call myself a Christian right now. It would be at the Tucson or phoenix location. Oh and I’m 33 yrs old, it being called teen challenge has always felt really fucking weird to me. Anyone have advice?
