I regret my treatment of pets too Leshar...but whether or not you see addiction as an illness, I was definitely sick at the time.
I'm better now - and so are you

Leshar

End of Day 95 - Stay strong, folks. Let's take it one day at a time to heal ourselves. Good night from Seattle!

Start of day 1. Been feeling suicidal the last few days but I've calmed down. Time to get my life in order. I'm starting naltrexone today. I was going to do the method we're not allowed to discuss here but I've decided to take it everyday for abstinence instead.

Up down up down. Please stop playing with yourself. More than Naltrexone or any other drug, you need to get into an inpatient long term rehab or into a psychiatriac facility asap.

I know you probably don;t want to hear it FF but you need to get your mental health under control, as a priority.
I hope you'll think about that a little more. I don't think you can count on always 'calming down'.

and yes any method not espousing abstinence is the same deal.
You can't control what for you has been uncontrollable.

I have a psychiatrist appt on the 21st.

But they just recently increased my lexapro and it takes a few weeks for the full effect.

Maybe I might go back to talk therapy.

I know when I'm suicidal the right thing to do is call the mental health centre or go to the psych ward, but its so embarrassing.

Morning all

FF I can’t really comment on mental health issues or drugs etc as I’m not qualified at all. I can only offer words of encouragement. I hope you can get the help you need. It seems folks on here have given good advice.

Well, I’m just checking in for my day 23. I’m feeling great! Working today, then tomorrow we’re heading away for a few days break. A change of scenery is always good.

Have a lovely day everybody ☕️💗

Morning all - quick check in on day 12. Therapy first thing, then taking car to garage, then a day off walking in the hills.

There is simply no way I will drink alcohol today. I don't want to and nobody can force me to, so what's the risk? There isn't any

Have a good day all

Hope therapy goes well Be.
