There’s something called Overeaters Anonymous. It’s a 12-step program like AA.

Could be worth checking out if you think your eating habits have made your life unmanageable.

I have been in OA for over 20 years. I lost over 100 lbs before having my first daughter. I have a super sponsor and some days just doing the serenity prayer is the only way to keep myself calm.

Thank you! I actually go to meetings but haven’t been able to find a string sponsor. Would you be able to share any strong meetings?

I’ve actually never been (alcohol is my main problem); I’ll ask my friend again though.

Possible to be sober as a new consultant? Feel constant pressure from other colleagues to drink and feel like it will be an uphill battle to climb the ranks sober. Can anyone share their story of getting/ being sober early in their career?

Feeling so frustrated and scared. I am trying my hardest to be loving to my brother who is addicted to many things. My family has been encouraging him for years to get real help. He’s finally semi-agreed to go to a detox facility and then rehab. However, those are far away from where we all live now. My 70+ dad wants to fly with my brother there to make sure he goes. I understand, but also...there’s a freaking pandemic going on with a virus targeting older people. Cont’d...

My dad has a problem with alcohol. When he stops drinking for a day he clearly exhibits all the signs for alcohol withdraw. Shaky hands, sweating insomnia. I’m so tired of seeing him fall. My mom has passed away (they were long divorced) so I really don’t have anyone to turn to. How can I be supportive without being an enabler? He has lost the last three jobs and is currently jobless and will must likely need my financial help soon.

I relapsed one week ago and feel awful about myself. I’m having trouble finding motivation and strength to get sober again now

Just wanted to post an update. 68 weeks ago I posted about my drinking problems. It was bad. It’s been 8 months now without a single drink. I still can’t believe it. I still miss drinking. I’ve sat with coworkers and watched them drink. It’s not nearly as fun, but I am so thankful each morning I can hold my head up high. Will I drink again? I only said I would quit for 60 days. Can I have a beer? Some wine? A fine bourbon? I sometimes crave it. I guess there is the answer! You can all do this!

Hey everyone,
I’ve been clean for about 6 years (with NA) and started to use kratom 6 months ago, without fully understanding what it really is. I’m really ashamed as I realise I relapsed.

As there ain’t nothing like a free lunch I should have known earlier feeling like that wasn’t right. But I guess I lied to myself.
