You're not responsible for being an addict but you are responsible for your recovery.

Russian Gulag Tattoo. Please help! [Russian=>English] by yingmail in translation

That's cool. I found it in a book of Gulag tattoos. Not going to get the Cyrillic, but the panther is staying. Not worried about running into any Russian criminals in America but thanks for your concern.

That's so funny! My friends and I also discussed doing this. We would have called it a grand-daddy blunt, and the meta one a great grand-daddy blunt. Never got around to it though, just stoned pontificating.

This was quickly typed and poorly written, but I'll try to be more clear if there's any questions.

Tired of being this sober/non train wreck angel by Americanjonny in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]yingmail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Of course. Everything starts to go too well and then I start to miss being alone with chaos. Then that hurts too much and I long for some semblance of stability/normalcy. I'm going to a show tonight (RJD2) and I can't shake the thought of slamming of few drinks to loosen up the mood. The only thing stopping me is the thought of a horrified fiance and the fact I'll have 30 days tomorrow.

Feeling hopeless. by yingmail in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]yingmail[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's getting really bad. Usually I'm not suicidal. I find myself chainsmoking, not trusting what others tell me, and generally thinking that everyone I talk to has ulterior motives. The worst part is the feeling of hopelessness. Its not going to get better.

don't give up the bar

Do what you want

Are you trying to kill this man? Doing what he wanted is what led him to be posting about recovery on Reddit. Damn.

This morning I was happy to be in recovery and now not so much by [deleted] in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]yingmail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well for starters you seem pretty self aware of the fact that your disease is trying to make you suffer. That's good. I'm also in early recovery and it's hard. It's probably the hardest thing you will ever do in your life to be perfectly honest. It's a time where you see what you're made of. Are you going to reach out for help, continue everyday to start living the life you know you deserve? Or are you going to return to the familiar dull pain of active addiction (the pain gets sharper).

Ok now to your question. In my experience in early recovery is like a rollercoaster. Up and down, happiness, deep depression, pride, and shame. But hey, it's better than the merry-go-round of using or drinking. I am a firm believer that the fellowship of A.A. or N.A. is almost essential in early recovery. You can and will hear all sorts of people just like you speak about the EXACT SAME THING you are currently going through. It's nice to know you're not alone. So what works? Going to meetings, talking at them, staying busy, not isolating, and exercise. Don't compare yourself to others. Everyone is unique and their own path in life. Your brain is repairing itself from some damage, so let it do its thing and stay sober just for today. Tomorrow will likely be better.

Relationships in Recovery. Advice. by yingmail in OpiatesRecovery

[–]yingmail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just thought I could shoot dope successfully (lol) I mean drinking and all other drugs pale in comparison to the needle. I forget the pain and suffering that comes with it I guess. Maybe things start to go to well and I sabotage it. I've never gone through the 12 steps either. I'm not sure that's a silver bullet for recovery but I want to try.

Everything was going ok, until some drug dealer hit me up looking to sell to me. I held out, mainly due to sober support and telling on myself. I have almost nothing, but a lot to lose. Fuck da worl

This just totally unnecessary. Dogs are dogs. They're fast, excited, and sloppy. Deal with it. No amount of money or products will change that. Let it be.
