Re: Five days clean
Welcome timebuster!
my name is dot and im an addict. i see where you are coming from. since i used, i have been in and out of NA and therapy. i did attend one crash meeting where they really gave it to ya! it was not what i expected at first, but they never let me get by with "ok im fine". ive had therapists whose answer for my not using was, "keep taking your meds". well, i took my meds for ocd for the first year clean and i really needed them then. i started feeling that i had to see if i could do it on my own. i so much wanted to be unmedicated. my therapist told me, "you will not be able to stay clean without your meds". and i said, "see ya". it has been 3 months and i am really working on tackling the ocd with the 12 steps. Congrats on your 5 days. that is great! i was in bad mental, phys and emotional state during my first few months. but in time, it will get better. it is good that you are reaching out for help. i did not do that until 4 months! you hang in there and let us know how you are doing!
hugs and prayers,
dot
