<font color="purple"> </font> I quit using 3 days ago & at certain times it becomes very hard for me to handle! the thought of picking up overwelms me & it makes it hard for me! thats when i really need help b/c i can't do this on my own. every time i've tried i've failed!
 i also deal with severe depression & being bi-polor. recently i haven't been able to see my baby girl ,Alyssa, b/c of my addiction, and that is what is keeping me clean right now! I also enrolled myself in the local clinic for counceling & group theropy & i also have been attending n|a meetings! I recently found this website & i am really excited about it!  i hope to meet some friends on here & get some support from u all as well!

Welcome to PC. Hope you find us helpfful. Getting and staying clean is really hard, especially the first few days. Just try to take it one day at a time and try to really focus on your recovery. Glad that you're getting some IRL support.

It's never easy, never. So far you seem to be doing the right thing though. Use your daughter as an incentive to help make good decisions in the future. I hope as days pass and you stay clean it will become easier then it is at this point. Like I said before though...addiction is forever and it never becomes easy...you learn to live with it and learn to deal with life from a sober perspective versus the suppression of emotions while using.
Hope everything works out for you. |

Getting clean and sober has been one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do in my life. As time has passed, I have had moments where I don't even have to think about it--it just comes naturally. It took a long time to get to that point. So, take heart, it does get better. Of course, I am just like everybody else, just one drink away from a relapse...it just seems like that first drink does not haunt me like it did when I first got sober.
