Ditto pwc1. When I felt completely lost I joined a meeting and had someone at my door 24 hours later. I’m a long way from fixer, but I’m alive because I took that step. Good luck to you

Thank you!❤️

Don’t try and deal with this alone. I hope you seek out an AA meeting. AAs are a compassionate bunch. You are going through tough times, but face it with people that will care for and listen to you. Alcohol and drugs will only crush. AA has help me find a new way to experience life (hard times and good). 🙏

You're not alone! You matter and are worthy -- just as you are! There is a solution.
For me, it came through A.A. and the 12 Steps. That led to my Higher Power, and a Spiritual guidance system that has changed my life and given me purpose and so much hope.
We're here for you! Don't give up!

Looking for motivation to get me to my first Alcohol rehab appointment.

Downloaded the “Days” app. No frills, no extras. Just a number staring you in the face. I’ve made it almost habitual to open and check... even multiple times a day when I know the day counter hasn’t changed, but it’s helping and encouraging. Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.

I might have a spending problem. I don’t think (?) I have a full blown addiction, but I’m cleaning out my closet and finding stuff that is few years old, still with the tags on, and lots of duplicates. I get a dopamine hit when I find a good deal and I’m wondering if it’s going too far. I can pay my bills, but I’m wasting a lot of $$ on things I don’t need. I have multiple family members who are/were addicts and hoarders and my own behavior is making me nervous. Any other big shoppers out there?

not alcohol/drugs related but more so to do with p*rn addiction. i have struggled for years with this and I am currently making a lot of progress. I started to make real progress once I started telling people (fiance, counsellor, pastor, etc).

I really don't think it should just be considered a religious thing since it effects the brain a lot and can obviously hurt your relationship. Wanted to see if others also struggle with this and are open to sharing.

Sharing some thoughts I’ve had lately:

The end of my suffering occurs with the death of my ego. I am reborn when I surrender to life exactly as it is, right at this moment (and it’s always “this moment”). I can begin to grow when I either accept life as it is, or I change my life because I can’t accept it. The better I become at surrender and acceptance, the more I experience serenity. After a long enough time I realize I’ve had a spiritual awakening. Now I am peace / joy / love.

☮️ 😊❤️
