How's life treating you? Do you need support? We are here for each other!
I have been on an emotional roller coaster. I found out I don't have cancer this week. But now I don't have an excuse for why I keep drinking all the time. And my friends are gonna start giving me shit about drinking all the time again soon. And that's gonna suck.
Yay for not cancer!!! When you are ready, head over to c/stopdrinking, we have a 24 hour Checkin to stay sober.. one day at a time. Start hour by hour. I had to do the same.
I've checked in a lot on there and vented lol. My history will show my comments. I try not to rant when I'm not sober though
Great!! ❤️
Have you tried SMART Recovery? A secular, science-based approach to cessation of unwanted, harmful, or addictive behaviors.
I'm gonna try. But I'm broke and getting to the very, very few meetings here in my city take about 90 minutes each way by bus.
Hey, congrats on not having cancer! And on trying to better yourself by not drinking. It’s a really tough journey, one I personally struggled with. Honestly, it’s scary to take even the smallest step. You’re brave for trying.
SMART recovery should have online meetings - maybe those would fit you? They really try to work with you.
You can also check out online addiction meetings on HeyPeers - it’s like a directory where various groups post their meetings.
If you identify as female, I’ll be happy to share info about a bipolar women’s circle - while it’s not about sobriety, it’s a nice way to get support.
In other words, there is help out there if you are ready to accept it. Hugs!
Do you mind if I PM you?
Go for it!
This is a safe place to discuss, vent, and share information about bipolar disorder. It is also a place for peer support and comfort.
