first posting
first posting to the sr site. ive been peeking for a while. finally registered. this seems to be a pretty genuine site (i've shopped around).
been polysubstance for 18 years. alcohol is my go-to demon though. had MASSIVE flame-out after years of semi-functional lying and hiding. lost job. lost nursing licence. lost respect for self (it's slowly coming back).
on positive side- spouse standing with me. didn't kill self. completed an intensive outpatient rehab. still have health and mental function havent touched anything since feb 25.
i'm here to talk to others who understand.
