For years my grandad wouldn’t speak to me, he said it was too painful watching me ruin my life over drink & drugs.
Today I picked him up & we went for breakfast. He’s usually the ‘tough guy’ but he teared up & said some lovely words. Best moment of the year 🥹🤍

My addiction tried its very best to get me to drink today bc the hotel is all inclusive. Then it tried tonight at the disco. Instead I drank soft drinks, enjoyed a full day in the sun, had a dance & now in bed at 11:30pm ready for another fresh day ahead 💪🏻

Yes and when people say ‘go exercise’ or something.. it’s not that you’re choosing to not do anything. You physically cannot get yourself to do anything 😭

so proud to say im 9 months sober from drink & drugs!!
There was a time I wouldn’t go anywhere without cocaine in my pocket. A time I couldn’t get an hour sober. My life was consumed by alcohol & drugs, chaos & misery. Now my life is THE best its ever been! Unreal!

2 years ago today I was kicked out a bar then arrested, drunk & high, stuck in addiction. Chaotic madness.
Today I did well in work, went for a lovely walk, now spending time with loved ones before doing uni work. A healthy, loving, reliable person. So glad I chose recovery.

Finally done a fully sober day, 3 months of pure misery, getting weaker and sicker each day yet stuck on the same hamster wheel of bad decisions.
Day 1 for both drink & drugs 😕 time to really up my game 🙏

@kmintuition
I understand this, it’s different to being suicidal. It’s like you don’t want to exist at all, you wish you never existed in the first place but you don’t think about dying or wanting to kill yourself.

Found yesterday so hard, emotions all over. My addiction trying to talk me into taking other drugs.
Talked it through & just looked at all the lovely things I’ve done sober. 350 days of learning & growing. What a journey!!
No way I’m throwing this away 🙏

Wow I tweeted this on what I didn’t know was going to be my day 1 & haven’t touched a drink or drug since.
I had no idea the amazing life that was just around the corner. Recovery IS possible 🙏🥹 into the 8th month of freedom we go..
I’m so so sick & tired of addiction I could scream. Feel chained down to it atm but I’m really trying. Still fighting it but it seems extra hard this time with having no energy after drinking/using endlessly. 1 day ill be free from this utter madness 🙏

I’ve found it hard recently to reach out without getting frustrated & beating myself up for still having addictive thoughts. The reason being I thought people probably don’t need support after a year.. yet I do at times, is this normal??

Quitting drink/drugs means EVERYTHING in my life has improved. Relationships are stronger, I’m way more sociable, I eat better, I look after my physical & mental health, doing well in work, i get to go fun & exciting places..

I’ve had some challenges & difficult battles with my addiction this week where it’s had me right on the edge a few times. It wants me to feel down & disappointed about that but I didn’t drink & I didn’t use. For that I am proud & can learn from this & move forward. Let’s go 👊🏼

Today I had an old dealer follow me trying to sell to me, then people offering to buy me a drink saying I ‘deserve’ one.
Out of my control but I’ve been able to stay calm, play it forward & stay in a great place! No battling, no desire for that miserable ending! Big progress 😁

I’d get weeks, sometimes 2-3 months off cocaine then use again.. because I was still drinking. Since I stopped drinking, I’ve not used drugs. Sounds obvious, but it took me so long to accept not drinking. My addiction clung onto the drink. Total abstinence brought the freedom ❤️🩹

Coming from a dark dark place where I used daily, seriously couldn’t get a day or 2 clean and really thought there was no way out to that realisation that I am actually now 6 weeks clean.. amazed at myself 🤭 feeling super grateful for the support off others in recovery 🤍

My addiction has tormented me the last 2 days. Telling me to ‘run away’ from recovery. Nothing bad would happen if I’m ‘careful’.
Tonight I’ve looked over my list of everything drinking/using caused & compared it to all my photos since I chose to quit. utter misery vs pure joy 🤷♀️

Today was 1 of those harder days, sunny, everyone drinking, addiction all over me. but I can learn from it 😮💨
Positive is I was sober & spent time with my grandad who didn’t wanna see me for years & didn’t believe me last time I said I’d quit. Today he said he was proud🥹

If I drank on Friday I would’ve used & likely still be using & hating myself.
Instead I’ve had a productive Sunday & have everything ready for the week ahead. It’s the little things like clean clothes & food for work that still feel like big rewards for me..
fresh week ahead!!

Sundays: normally spent in bed all day, miserable, still drinking or using. Getting nothing done & thinking of excuses to call in sick.
Today: a walk, lovely food, work clothes washed, everything ready for work, tidied, showered, in bed ready for a fresh week ahead! 🙌🏻

hate to say but my addiction won yesterday. got me to drink 1st ‘just have a few’ then ‘just use a bit, it’s Christmas so you will take it easy, you’ll be home early’. hated every minute. SO much guilt & regret. hoping I can gain back some control and not let it ruin more days🙏
