I have been sober for right around a year. I say that because I am not exactly sure when I quit cheating with maybe just one or two. I take 1/2 of a suboxone daily. I have never gone to a meeting, never have tried to work a program. I have been reading a lot. Even though I am not actively taking pills or drinking, descriptions of feelings and things that I am doing still seem to apply. I don't know enough about addiction or recovery to really know what is up or down. I have a million questions, but don't know what to ask. I have thought all along that I could do this by myself. It has become very obvious that isn't working. Even though I don't know what I want to know, can someone offer any advice?

Hello debbie,

The best thing for you to do in my opinion is to educate yourself further by reading the 'stickies' up top.

Stick around

i would def go to a meeting or 2 and find some sober friends that is what im trying to do also. I have social anxiety and its really hard for me to socialize with other people but the only way i know im going to make it through is to force myself to go, we all know there is know way we can recover by ourselves, what a lonely world we would live in.

I thought I could do it alone for 30 years & at age 42 realized that it wasn't possible. Finding meetings helped me immensely.

This place has been my support. I don't go to meetings. You should try it though to see if it works for you! Good luck!

Try NA, if nothing else there's free coffee.
