hi

Hello

I'm back

Gotta get this weight off my triglycerides are off the charts.

Disciplining is so hard

I'm starting to track my food to lose weight since my teacher told me that I'm so healthy in a way that I felt like it's just a backhanded compliment, and I feel like I wanna cry because I can't see my body the way how I admire it. It's so hard because I needed a big change to fulfill that :<

Where do I search food ? Like wings ?

How do I put a picture on my profile?

possible trigger warning? talk of ED

hello...so i have an eating disorder, but it ranges between me binging and eating whatever the hell i want, then after i feel so guilty about it i 'switch' to my bulimic tendencies and i purge every single meal or food i consume...and i eventually get to where i don't eat for weeks straight then i some day just go back to binging? i don't know what to do and i hate feeling like this but...i don't- i don't know?? help? what should i do?...

happy new year

Great morning to wake up enjoying my alcohol-free life. I can't even remember why I ever thought o wanted to drink. It was…fun? It…made me less anxious? It was…part of a healthy lifestyle? Lol - none of those are true!

Enjoy a day just feeling your actual feelings, finding real fun and choosing health and wellness!

Newbie

I'm new to this group and relatively new to the app. I thought I would introduce myself and start to perhaps utilize some support over here and offer any if somebody needs some. I have 10 months of 100% abstinence from all drugs as of the 27th of December. some things I used to use are longer than that.

food and various things that are disguised as food but really aren't but are rather drugs like refined sugar and refined flour were my first drug of choice and are the last thing that I'm putting down.

hi stay sober group

New here, and to this app. I'm here for obvious reasons I suppose. 2 + years recovered and clean with out the hard stuff.
.

(possible tw, specifically naming the substances I currently still struggle with. I'm sorry if you don't make posts with triggering words here,
I hope the tw will help. If ya'll don't do tw here I'm sorry for that too.
Living in Canada, both marijuanas and alcohol are so easily accessible to me. The alcohol used to be not at all but it's happening more and more I know I need to find the underlying problem asap because I can't let myself get sucked in without even noticing.

Christmas PTSD and Depression

Hey all,

Although I've been sober now since 10/10/2022 (booze) this will be my first Christmas sober since my son drowned in 2018. Almost had a full breakdown yesterday dropping my wife off at a friends to hangout bc I hate being alone this time a year.

I'm not a fan of meetings and IMO AA is a cult. Any suggestions for staying strong?

e.d.

i don't wanna eat anymore. thats the biggest reason i need adderall again. i want to be manic again

Growth

Well I've been clean and sober from drugs(dope/heroin/pain pills) & alcohol for over a year now and although thoughts still cross my mind and I encounter situations that are tough and challenge me I decide to remain sober. I'd always run to numb, my older fav coping ability that had nothing to do with cardio now I endure the struggles in life that I'm faced with, try to find the silver lining in it all. I keep faith. And workout. It may be scary or different to step away from the chaos but it's worth it. You deserve it, your kids/family deserve it. Keep making the right choices and good things will happen. How bad do you want it?

avoiding the awkward

I have been sober for almost 2 months. I quit the day my sister got into an accident because a drunk driver hit her car which caused her to be paralyzed from the neck down. I use to be constantly surrounded by alcohol including having a fiancé who drinked very heavily. Ever since my sisters accident I have had no desire to drink, not even a sip. what I have noticed is that drinking is a very common social event. I am wondering how y'all do in those kinds of environment? Do you go out and get an alternative? Do you resort to places that have food too? It makes me feel awkward when people ask "let's go get drinks" or "Ill come over for a glass of wine"... I don't know how to say "I don't drink" without feeling like I'm getting shamed.

Hi

Hi there, I can't seem to quit drinking and smoking. Just gone into a nosedive from a breakup and too much free time/loneliness. It works for me to give up both substances at once. Any help would be so appreciated. I need to get my self-esteem and power back. This is Day 1. Thank you, Sally.

Clean and sober

so I'm going on 14 months clean and sober ..and I feel FANTASTIC!!!

Rest of methadone post

the reason it's taking me so much to post all of this is because I had to tell the whole story this methadone clinic has saved me from falling off on opiates losing custody of my son made me a better mom changed my entire life. Suboxone I always still had cravings and I would just think of how many days I had left until I could feel a rush again if I got high on opiates so the Catch-22 is that I cannot stop going to the methadone clinic I'm not ready yet I know that I will fall off the wagon and the fact that I go to the methadone clinic means no matter what I do the weight does not come I have tried so many different things and I am at my Wit's End. none of my clothes fit me I'm 60 pounds heavier than I was a week after I gave birth I'm disgusted in myself and I don't know what to do. being sober and not high is better than being dad or a junkie and not having your child . the people who say that to me all know that the whole reason I am on this is only because of my son it wasn't...

hey guys, the reason I haven't been...

active on this app in awhile is partly because my close friend is struggling with a methamphetamine addiction. it's so inconceivable to me that my 14 year old friend has been on such a hard drug since summer. we originally bonded over both being anorexic, and we both tried to help each other whenever we fell into that cycle. the reason she did meth was to lose weight. i'm working with a trusted adult at school to help find the best next steps. please share any personal stories you'd like to, much appreciated.
