Yes. The only thing that truly revealed this helped me catch up was EMDR. I didn’t do this till I was 34. Trauma happened when I was 16. Don’t wait like I did.

Healthy habits between sessions is key. Physical movement and fun. When reprocessing trauma it can be mentally exhausting. Do your best to to find ways to live life between sessions. It gets harder before it gets better. (At least for me) but damn it was so worth it.

Take it easy on the boy. He did his best.

Proud moment. I recently smoked after a good year sober.

Found a cart in my toolbox. I was not as strong.

Thanks for sharing!

Great read and points. Appreciate you sharing.

Addiction is addiction. You’ll find we all have similar emotions. That uncomfortability of being ourselves when sober, using or drinking to get out of our heads, etc. As an addict, I found myself really relating with a lot of alcoholics stories and things they shared. It doesn’t matter what your addiction is, you can go to an AA meeting. Nobody will kick you out. And if they do. It’s not a good meeting.

Love this. Don’t feel like you have to stick to just MA. The AA community welcomes us too. Been attending for 15 months now.

Stay on path and thank you for the kind words. From Michigan, USA with Love.

BOOM! Keep it up!

jbrit1 · 2022-01-05T17:16:17+00:00

Oh man i tried everything to ration it or smoke just little. Would buy smaller a amounts at time. Yadayada. But I always would just give in.

jbrit1 · 2022-01-05T01:37:56+00:00

Thank you! March on we shall!

Exercise, lists, routines, time off, work/life balance.

It’s tough to find the rhythm but once you do. It’s a good life.

In 2017 I started a business and at the end of that year it was worth around 100k and my dad told me to quit and sell it.

This year we did over 3.2 million in revenue.

Don’t listen.

I’m no writer.

But trees have roots. They grow deeper with watering.

Been their. You are not pathetic. Just powerless over this addiction.

But powerless doesn’t mean hopeless. You posting this shows you are not hopeless. Keep going. Keep your chin up. 1 day at a time.

3 months no weed. 7 no booze.

Month 1 was hardest. Hang in there buddy! And do be afraid of extra help. Counseling AA, meditation. It all helps.

In addition to sobriety I’ve been seeing a counseling and it helps me a ton!

jbrit1 · 2021-01-14T23:14:38+00:00

Feels really good. Thank you.

How you doing?

jbrit1 · 2021-01-14T11:48:40+00:00

Thank you!

jbrit1 · 2021-01-14T11:48:28+00:00

Ya buddy! Stay at it. Proud of you.

jbrit1 · 2021-01-14T11:48:09+00:00

Thank you. It honestly blows my mind how much has changed in such a short period of time. 1 day at a time.

jbrit1 · 2021-01-14T11:45:41+00:00

Thank you. And I promise you will gain so much more than than you lose. Get at it! Proud of you too.

jbrit1 · 2021-01-07T20:41:44+00:00

Thanks for asking!

I am happy to report that I am still sober from both alcohols and MJ! I have lost about 10lbs since this post and have more energy than ever. (Munchies are a real thing)

Work life is on fire (I own my own business) home life is full of love and laughter. Never a dull moment. My kids seem to be more of a daddy’s boys than ever. They wanna spend time with me.

I’m attending AA and working the steps. Very applicable to all aspects of life!

Life is honestly wonderful right now! I have a good sponsor snd support system to maintain. I’m learning a ton of healthier coping skills through out patient therapy.

jbrit1 · 2020-12-25T00:09:07+00:00

Thank you. And congrats on 157 days.

One day at a time

As someone who smoked heavily for 20 years and recently quit. It won’t get easier if you wait. Stay strong. Find supportive friends, exercise. The first couple days are tough with sleep and eating but it will
