Sounds like you already made the right choice, but I'll put my two cents in anyway.
Right now you need to focus on yourself and your recovery.
You need to surround yourself with people who are going to support your recovery.
She doesn't sound very supportive or understanding to me.

Hello team, i hope all of you had an amazing weekend and are having a ecstatic day! Today is an official two weeks of sobriety. I am filled with self pats because this is the most i have ever gone. The past week was brutal, mind tricks all across the board. From hearing things (voices), to seeing things that are unexplained or sometimes not even there, to having some horrible dreams. But it all ties around to “how bad to i want it” and i want sobriety desperately, with forever lasting longevity. Cheers!

Congrats! Keep it up, you're doing fantastic!
Withdrawals are going to take a while, especially for heavy users, but so worth it.
They'll be over in a relatively short time, compared to how long you've been using and how long the rest of your sober life will be; this is just a blink of the eye.

Lynn and Dee thank you, thank you so much for the support and wisdom. Im not losing this fight, i’ve fought all my life and i refuse to give up now. Tomorrow i will step into a N.A meeting for the first time, i need to get out of my comfort zone and i know i can resonate with the people there.

I need help. We are all adults right. But earlier this day i tried to have sex. My partner was all aroused and ready to go but for some reason i couldnt get it to work. Is this normal during recovery.? And to be honest i didnt get that sexual drive. Me and her were kissing but i couldnt perform. Im not worried about it like im desperate to have sex but i need some answers.. thank you

I think it's pretty nromal on the intimacy front angel. They don't call it recovery for nothing - we put ourselves in a bad place emotionally and physically.
Things will get better tho - give it time

21 months weed-free
16 months alcohol-free
I've been through some rough times recently. I've craved hard, almost relapsed, I've been sick (dengue fever). But I'm strong again. I feel glad and proud of myself for being almost 2 years away from weed.
Very happy for being alcohol-free as well, I just love not drinking. This past weekend I had a problem in the middle of the night and I had to hit the road. I was so glad for being sober, it feels so good being ready to cope with life at any given time.
How are you guys doing?
