I am in the realm of hungry ghost

I did quit weed though. Taking my meds as prescribed.. I want to buy fluorinated methylphenidate for cheap price but I won't..

My sponsor said something tonight that upset me more than I already was... I was trying to tell him I have been feeling sui. He said sometimes he feels like I want attention. WTF... I don't understand how someone can say that when the other person I already struggling. The only reason I survived Wednesday was because I dissociated... (I told the IOP T Thursday and we discussed things after group.) I haven't told my sponsor that part because he is also a social worker and I would really rather not deal with a welfare check. IOP T was ok letting me leave, I don't know what sponsor's level of comfort is... But really, I want attention because I get sui a lot? How about I'm sui all the time, at least passively, and I just don't mention it most of the time...

Sorry the whole "doing it for attention" mindset really pisses me off... I just needed to rant for a minute.

splitimage · Mar 15, 2020 at 07:36 AM

childofchaos, you're sponsor sounds spectacularly uninformed, especially if they are a social worker. Personally, if it were me, I just wouldn't mention it to them again, and just would consider dealing with the the SU ideation with help of your IOP and T.

I'd also consider looking for a new sponsor who has actual experience in dealing with mental illness. That's why I really like double recovery meetings. They get it, and it's ok to talk about both mental health and addiction in the meetings.

Hang in.

Sponsors are hard to find at my home group. I'd have to go to another group to find one... I'd actually thought about that too. There just aren't any double recovery meetings here. We have one NA meeting that advertises mental illness talk is okay. And my home group is okay with it too. Some groups aren't.

My addictions Dr. has agreed to prescribe gabapentin to me for cravings, which are through the roof at the moment. I hope it helps, Naltrexone did nothing for me.

I take gabapentin for nerve pain. It makes you tired throughout the day so that’s why I take it at night for bed.

WastingAsparagus · Mar 24, 2020 at 07:20 PM

Wow, I realized I haven't had alcohol in a very long time now. I can't remember when I last had a drink. This is the longest I've made it in a while.
