Opposite of optimist - drug addiction

[sonicwhite]

Guys my folly is drug addiction. I stumble so much in this area. I wished I could control my urges. It’s always been something since 2010.

If I didn’t have the massive test of anxiety I wouldn’t of fell away like Peter in the Gospel.

But here I am today. Not addicted to benzos or anything else. Gabapentin has been my pit.

How do I dig myself out of this?

One day at a time?

If that’s too much, hour by hour, minute by minute, or moment by moment.

It sounds easy. Maybe my children will empower me to stop.

 

[EveHarrington]

I didn’t know you had kids!

My gf has two and we plan to have more.

Well, back to earlier.....

It’s so NOT easy!

Seriously, drug withdrawal is hell.

That’s why I say moment by moment.

Do whatever you can to get through the day, moment by moment.

Are you taking care of yourself? Getting enough sleep? Eating well? Exercising if you can?

Hugs.
