hi everyone,
really glad to have found this site. i can be real and talk about my addictions. actually a friend (former - she cut me off) at rehab hooked me up with this site.
Thanks especially to milfhunter ;-) yes, i really do need to quit drinking. In my recovery, I am trying to quit unhealthy behaviors all together. the coke/booze is especially difficult (worse than quiting smoking). Ideally i don't even want to ever think about that crap. i want to be in a state where i enjoy being sober and that i want to protect being sober. a girlfriend would help but it is hard as heck to meet a normal person when one is in recovery.
The other thing with coke use is I have lost every friend (ever). lonely as heck trying to get better. I spent the last weekend alone with so much negative self talk, feeling like a victim (then accountable), hating on everyone (most people are not worth knowing), sleeping, etc
i'm not into the 12steps (tried it), i like the CBT model for recovery. I was verbally abused in dollarama (dollar store) last night by this guy i went to rehab with in the summer. I told him not to call me (ever) about 2 weeks after rehab. he used to call/show up at my house and i called him a stalker and told him to leave me alone. his name calling/slander last night was brutal... yes he is a loser. He is 40 yrs old without a grade nine education and is a criminal (spent alot of critical yrs in jail). I am thinking of getting a restraining order. Kind of good (in a messed up way) that people are talking/gossiping about me... lol. wish they were talking about how hot/well-2-do i was instead though... ;-)See what i mean about loneliness?
Can anyone relate? or am i really out there?
