Starting my sobriety journey tomorrow

[Caroline91]

I'm glad for you. Lost my mom and almost lost my brother. He get sober, has stayed sober and has a really good life now. I wish that for you!

My mom has been sober for 18 years. She said it was the only thing that stopped her suicidal thoughts.

[Asker]

Man. That’s powerful stuff right there. I have actually struggled there as well

[Lliam]

Yes, if you:
have no self control,
drink to get drunk,
do stupid things when you are drunk,
endanger others,
are addicted.

Aside from that, there is no point. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the occasional tasty beverage.

[Asker]

I have an addiction to a legal high. It’s destroyed my life

[Lliam]

Then absolute congratulations on kicking that addiction. Best wishes and best of luck.

When was 36, I met a 30 year old and we wound up living together for almost 2 years. She had been sexually abused by her step father for years as a young girl. It messed her up. She became an alcoholic, then got married and had a kid when she was 17. She got divorced a couple years later, gave up custody of her boy, and moved away. She and her son remained very close, though and she was on good terms with her ex.

By the time I met her, though, she had been in therapy for years and had kicked alcohol. She was very bright, gained a good career, supported herself, and was determined to have a normal life.

I admired her and I loved her with all my heart. She was the best girlfriend I ever had.

Thank you. It’s kratom. Very addictive unregulated drug

[Lliam]

I never heard of it until you mentioned it and I looked it up. Sounds dangerous.

[Asker]

There’s actually ways it can be used very responsibly. it’s in the same family of plants as coffee. But it can definitely be abused too, and it’s very easy to become addicted

[NicholasRedone]

Yep I don't drink alcohol or non alcoholic removed either

[NathanDavis]

in front of the judge... sure
