Hi TJ, is there anybody you can call?

What you're trying to do (recovery/quitting) isn't easy and everybody tries and fails, it's the getting back up and going at it again that's important - loads of people here have been where you are right now, please know that you're not alone...

Have you got a new plan for your recovery?

Hi TJ68

You say you're on a relapse. What worked during your sober period? Reaching out to SR is a start, is there anyone else you know that might be understanding and give you a hand? Keep posting.

Matt

the whole leaders of each country, masses of recoverying addicts and alcoholics, family, friends, can be here telling me the same stuff over aand over and over again and it seems it doesnt make any diference its very sad indeed. new plan? other than clicking my mouse a a zillion times over and wondering how i could have possibly allowed myself to get this stupid and this sick is beyond me

dont stop trying

hi, I am no expert by no strech. The guy that helped me going to meetings is a recovering herion addict. I ran him into and started asking about meetings.

He goes to 2 a day as he is not employed. I have been going to aa for the last week and went 5 out of 7 last days. I was drinking prior, I will go everday for the time bieing. Its only a hour and somehow it helps

I know this is not as physcial addicating as H, but it is everywere.

Keep posting and get to a meeting somehow any way.


I will pray for you tommorrow when I am in church. I will think of you getting there in a way maybe you haven't thought of yet.

To better days...

One thing that helped me quit and stay quit was coming here - not only reading but helping others with my experience, cos if there's one thing we know about, it's what not to do.
Sometimes it's helpful to help someone else and get out of your own head a while, get a sense of purpose however small, and change things - if only just a little.

Sometimes that small shift makes all the difference - did for me anyway.

I wish you well TJ - keep posting

TJ68,

You only need to help yourself. Maybe you should tell your Dad that you are having problems, then he could help you.

it was just a suggestion TJ - worked for me...I was messed up but I knew it...didn't stop me giving good advice to others.

I hope you find something that works for you soon.

TJ do something different, Dee had a good idea, it worked for Bill and Bob, they helped others when they first got clean and it still works today.

Call people and get out of bed and out of the house, go to meetings even if your blasted, you only have to have the desire to stop using as in teh 3rd Tradition. Get some NA lit and actually read it, get the Basic Text and 'how it works'. Hang out with members all day long!

As you say, your in self pity, well stop wallowing and get out into the world, don't wait for it to come to you, it won't!

And yep post here, post here a lot.

Kevin
PS My god is a loving caring god and there is no question of not being loved, only question was would I love and forgive myself!

I did and I do.

Its up to you what you do, your a big person now so if you want to wallow and get blasted thats your choice and nobody can make you do different.

However, if you want to do something about you then ... you already have some suggestions.

Good Luck

Kevin

So your sinning and you feel God is mad but you come here and find people trying to help you.
If we as just plan ordinary people will take the time to help you find answers...How much more will God who is overflowing with love help?
You want help...Ask for it and it shall be given.

So wipe and get off the pitty pot and seek some help.
The help is there...you only need ask for it.
Pick up a phone or get on your knees and you will find help.

1) You came here by accident, or just to see what it's about. You're not abusing any substance.

2) You want to have a laugh at people in recovery.

3) You want to quit using and need some help and support.

I don't think it's number 1, or number 2 - so it's got to be number 3.

We're here for you buddy if you want to quit. As strange as this may sound, we actually want you to succeed and have a great life - without the stigma of addiction.

It's important for your life that you don't ever stop trying to give up - without that you are lost; even if just a tiny part of you would rather not be where you are right now, that's enough to get the ball rolling.

Don't quit trying - wishing you all the best.
