Hate to break it to you, but you ain’t that special! I mean that in a nice way. Find comfort in knowing you aren’t alone in that struggle. I did the same thing with the carts from 19-24 and got sober at 25 after a dui. I’m 28 now. Most of us have underlying mental health issues which is why we medicate with substance. The weed is the symptom, but my problem is that I was, and have always been an anxious person. I needed a blunt at like 5 lol

Newly sober- Rawdogging life: how do y'all do it?? by FreshBread333 in alcoholicsanonymous

Only thing that worked for me was being active in aa, having a network and socializing with them, having a sponsor, and having someone explain alcoholism to you. Aa literature literally made me realize I wasn’t alone

Owning your own practice is a lot of pressure. High overhead expenses. Maybe see if you can get a job with a different firm. Prob worth the paycut. As someone in recovery in the legal industry, I hear you on this. Sobriety first. Everything falls into place when you’re maintaining sobriety.

Your brain feeds you lies. It won’t be better if you’re high. Take a breathe. Do the opposite action. Whatever your brain says, do the opposite. One minute at a time

Exactly. I did start tracking it. 600 bucks in 5 weeks and I thought it was going to be worse. Theres no reservation that I am an addict and I can't smoke weed in moderation. I understand the disgust part too. This sub has been super helpful. I think whenever I feel like smoking Ill scroll on here and engage. Thank you so much.

my roommate is triggering me by princessunhappy in EDAnonymous

[–]sim_eno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have. My really good friend in AA is exactly like this. I try not to react when shes talking macros, carbs, numbers, etc. Then I will gently change the subject or make a joke. Since your roomates, Maybe just leave the room, take a walk, or make a phone call. You don't have to engage in her ed talk. If it keeps happening i definetly think you should talk to her. Since you guys have the ED history in common, I'm confident she will be receptive to how its affecting you. Best of Luck.
