Still in process of PAWS was a benzodiazepine addict for 12 years and I’m only 31. Got started from a legitimate doctor and let me tell you it’s been pure hell.

I'm in NA and AA and what they all say there is that doing those things definitely help but what will really help is step work. I've just completed my step one and each time I think of a drink or drug I feel sick because I know where it'll take me. I know I've just started but just wanted to offer something to those just coming into twelve step fellowships.

I really enjoyed the meditation, especially the absence of background music-it was refreshing not having it blasting in my headphones. However, the frequent muting and unmuting of the microphone was distracting and took away from the experience.

I would never do the steps again with another person in AA as there is far too much gossip within this very tight little community. I've been sober 25 years and as much as I appreciated having AA for my first few years, it became too much of a social circle. EVERYBODY knows everybody and yes, they talk behind your back. I keep in touch with a handful of people who helped me at the beginning and have moved on with life.

promises made to loved ones to change ..unable to keep... Promises made to self.. unable to keep. Places drink brought me to that I would not dream of going today..ie completely powerless. The simplicity of unmanagabillity is just take a look at where I finished up. In my case 43 years of age wife gone kids gone family not talking to me. Financial mess and emotional wreck. When I could at last see that with help from a good sponsor he then said to me You have admitted that your life has become completely unmanageable, do you think a NEW MANAGER might be a good idea. Simple and so powerful that this old sceptic actually came to believe and a closed mind was opend up. .

So ive been clean for 8 years now, we got clean together and now have a 3 year old baby. What do you do if they full blown DENY that theyve relapsed, even though its completely obvious and theres complete proof ? My boyfriend relapsed again and is denying that hes using even though hes been nodding off for almsot a week, face first on the floor, locked in the bathroom screaming and high for like 7-9 hours, huge swolen bloody track marks, not showering, he didnt pay his half of bills this month and geta defensive and insults me when i bring it up that i do NOT have an extra $600 to pay his half, extremely abusive verbally and physically, leaving needles around, not showing up for ANY of his responsibilities... What do you do then? I cant support him and even talk to him about it to try to make a plan/ figure out how this happened and how he can get back on track, if he wont even admit hes using.

That’s really rough. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through, with baby in tow. Have you talked to anyone else about what is happening? It seems like he thinks he can lie his way around it- which is why I wonder if anybody else knows what you’re going through. I think since you have a toddler and he is using in the house, you probably need to leave or tell him to leave for the time being while you figure it out. It’s not safe to have that level of unpredictability with a child around. There’s no way for you to guarantee their safety in your home if your partner is using or under the influence in that environment. That doesn’t mean that there’s no path forward with your partner, or that he’s a bad person. I’m sure your partner will understand that you love him but cannot allow this around the baby. He will have to accept that and reel this in, or not. You can’t control that… but, your role as a mother and everything that comes with it, comes first. 🙏

I'm sorry for the delayed response. I'm just seeing this now on in my feed. I'm sorry for what you are going through. It's so painful, I know, I've been there. I hope that you've been able to get some support since you posted this because that is what you need. You need other people's strength to keep you going and help you to make decisions that are going to be the best for you. There are several options on line for family members if you can't find anything locally. I hope things have improved since you posted this.

I'm worried about my partner. We are both in recovery and her behavior is odd lately. Either indicative of mental health issue or relapse. I know all the ways we try to hide this stuff and it is all so sketchy to me. Is just don't know how to broach it without injuring our relationship too much.
@DRKJFOSTER
@DRKJFOSTER 19 күн бұрын
Hi Matt - This is such a difficult aspect of recovery because we want to help and sometimes in trying to help we can make things worse, especially if we accuse our loved ones of relapse and we're wrong. I recommend coming from a place of overall concern. There is nothing wrong with telling someone you're worried about them because of xyz (insert specific behavior of concern) and being sure to express love for them. They still might get upset but you are approaching them with love and not anger or frustration. I hope that makes sense and I apologize for the delayed response. I'm not always good about getting to my comments.
