I have always wondered what it would be like if I just started not counting the days I am sober. But also not counting the days I am not sober. I wonder what that would amount to. Regardless, I am going to be sober -- I just believe alcohol leads to more suffering for me.

What about getting a sober app to help you in your progress? Or a calendar you can mark up? __________________ Love, Light and Happiness!!! |

In addition to my ticker, in my signature, I have an app on my phone, that tracks sober time, and gives you milestones. Most of the time, I don't really think about how long I've been sober, although I really did in the beginning, but it's still nice to check my counters and see the time build up.

I was down to 650mg phenibut last night and I think I felt withdrawals from that or weed withdrawal idk.. (Felt like I was going to fly into space). So I took 600mg phenibut this morning but I don't want to seem boring on the walk with everyone today so I took an extra 700mg..
Tomorrow I'll take just 700mg and decrease by 100mg a day. |

Relapse. Was in AA but don't think that is for me. Been in/around for near 19 years always miserable. The god thing is irritating and I don't and won't and can't believe he exists. New revelations of things that have happened that I don't remember but found things in my writing that tell me at some time I did remember and my mind just pushed them back away again. Theres no fn way I can or will do AA again or have anything to do with god if he even exists.

Hi Striving4Thriving, welcome to psych central. AA wasn't my thing either, but there are other programs out there. There's SMART Recovery, which is a CBT based approach that a lot of my friends use and like. And if you're female there's Women for Sobriety, which is my program that I love. I do think it's easier to stay sober if you have the support of other people and some kind of program.

first of all I have to say I am stunned an amazed that I got into a situation just under a year ago. That I ended up having a problem with smoking crystal meth. I never in my whole life thought that I would be someone.
That had something like this happen to them. All I can say is it is rough I know that there is a desire for me to wanna do it again, but I am too proud of myself, that I have kept myself clean and detoxing off all this nasty stuff. And I am not about to my life back in the place where it was. __________________ Dx:OCD, AD/HD-C and ADD kinda both, General Anxiety Disorder, Separation Anxiety Disorder,Abandonment Anxiety, Cycothymic disorder, or mixed bipolar, Border Line Personality Disorder,Histonic Personality Disorder, Dependent Personality disorder, eating disorder ]Rx:Lamotrigine 25mg twice a day for my mood stablizer as well as I am on Escitalopram 10mg 1 daily, Buspirone 3 times daily 10mgs VT Student, CNA student, working HHA for my father I think of you everyday |

There was an advertisement on my Facebook feed the other night for a drug that was supposed to help you drink less. Yeah...that would work in my case! I had to laugh, since I've accepted my alcoholism & know that one drink wouldn't do the job to my satisfaction. |
