Don't care for too much else, really. great post.

this is a good thread..... i havent posted on here yet, but id like to say a few things. i am an alcoholic, i identify as an alcoholic. that is not to say i am not an addict, because i am. drug use played a huge role in me hitting my bottom. all of it, im not on that marijuana maintenance shit either. sober as a judge, its been 3.3 years now. its tough at times, really tough, almost tougher than when i first got sober. i go to AA and i have a spiritual life that i am now able to work on. there are many ways to get and stay sober, but for me AA is what works. i just want to say that life is hard, sometimes i just want to trade it all in for a drink or a drug. but i will say this, life would be way more complicated and fucked if i were to start using again. damn, imagine that, life can seem impossible at times sober, but shit, i dont ever want to have to deal with life while getting fucked up ever again, so sobriety cant be that bad. for all of the people out there who will never have support in their life to get sober, we are the lucky ones. even the fact we chose to read this thread for one reason or another, this is more than what some other people will ever have. i just wanted to let yall know im here if anyone needs any help, not on that "wire me some money" type shit, but someone to listen, or just show my support. It gets easier! much easier! dont feel like you need to do this all on your own. if you can, more power to you, but i could not and i dont think i ever will be able to. it helps to talk with others, or just talk out-loud to some greater force that may or may-not surround our lives. stay up -D
