DID I want to quit - need support

@Cashew Yes you can (that makes me think of Obama everytime I say it...)

The straightforward answer is: I don´t think they always have a functionality (i.e serve a need)

The ones who are "dark", that is to say; the ones who think I should end myself, do not have a functionality. They seem to be remnants of the bullshit that was repeated to me, time and time and time again, by two people (my parents) who were the definition of Frustrated and Angry.

The ones who are "light", that is to say, have a good purpose, have the functionality of "soothing" me when I feel like a child that cannot walk on its own two legs: but the fact that I keep on going back to that, keeps me in that perpetual cycle of feeling like a child that has no legs of its own.

What I need (I really need this), is not to respond to what my old habits say I need (i.e scream, cry and depend on imaginary people), but instead start to trust myself and know that I do have the strength to depend on myself. See. :D
 
I truly hope you can kick it. Let´s do this togheter!

Dear @Radise let's really try and do this together hun, I believe in "you" as much as "you" believe in "me".

For both of us to feel able to share our own personal demons and addictions, however simple or grave with the forum is a massive achievement for both of us..........

@ladee and @The Albatross the same goes for both of you ladies........ come on girl's. Strength in numbers, let's form an "Addiction breaking Group of Peer Supporters".

One day at a time for all of us. I hope to get my oncology results by the end of this week. I am nearly a week clean of the Alcohol and can proudly say right now I AM a week clean of the Cocaine. The withdrawal pains are crippling for me most day's and I am having serious heart palpitations every time I excerpt myself too much.

I believe that ALL of the members here can quit whatever addiction they are facing as a result directly or indirectly linked to their own PTSD recovery journey.

We all have the will to get better so, Dear forum members. I do not wish at all to sabotage this thread and If I am overruled on posting this reply then I stand to be admonished by the forum moderators and apologise. That is not my intent at all, I simply post this reply to show solidarity in membership for the OP and proffer my OWN, UN-equivicable support for the OP

:laugh:

(just happy that I am figuring this out and you guys are helping).

I have never really trusted myself. I have pushed myself to do things, even though I didn´t trust myself. These things have proven (over and over again), that I can be trusted. For example when I went skydiving, my gut was convinced that I was going to die. I chose to ignore my gut and listen to my heart. And here I am.

The reason I´ve never flown solo is also because of this. I wouldn´t trust myself to be in command (literally! even in my own life!). I would probably screw it over (is the message that I got as a kid). Instead I´ve always given over power to my instructors, even though I know damn well I can fly.

So basically I´d say what helps me trust myself, is to connect with myself.
I already feel I can be trusted. I just don´t know it.
 
Ok then responders to this thread and other active members, be you sufferers or supporters. I believe that this will be a consideration for the staff and moderators, @anthony will inevitably be the overall lead on whether we will be permitted to start a group within the forum of peer to peer support regarding this topic.

I am more than happy to take the lead within this group only if He and the other forum staff members are in agreement for this to be implemented.

Dear @anthony. This suggestion please for your and colleagues consideration please.

@Mr Laurie
