Assuming I don't relapse tonight (and I don't think I will) tomorrow marks 90 days of sobriety for me. Let me clarify: that's 90 days with no alcohol, no opiates/opioids, no benzodiazepines, no barbiturates, no amphetamines, no cocaine. I am still using nicotine, caffeine, and a tiny bit of marijuana (a couple puffs every 2 or 3 days). As a chronic relapser, I am probably an expert on what not to do. I've also had periods of sobriety-- 3 years was the longest. I attend AA/NA meetings, but I am by no means a Big Book Thumper. I take what I can use and leave the rest. I enjoy talking & listening to recovering alcoholics/addicts.
For me, the most important thing in recovery is to stay connected with recovering people. On that note, I'd like to hear from anyone and everyone on this invigorating, frustrating, enlightening, terrifying, incredibly complicated path. Share your struggles and triumphs. Share good news, bad news, meh news. If you're still using, that's okay too. I just want to communicate with folks who are seeking a better life...in any way you want to define that.
Welcome!
Peace&Love,
jasper
