Quoting mαkαnαni:" How do you ladies avoid lapsing?"

Breathing, meetings, sponsor and never forgetting how it use to be

Quoting ♥crazybitch:" Explain? lol"

Loving him from a distance. But making sure you are your number one priority. Not him. Loving yourself.

I've been sober for just about two months and I found out my ex and son's father has been spiking heroin for over a year now. I am completely heart broken. For me since I'm still rebuilding myself I can't be a good judge on if I've changed drastically and if that's just part of growing up. But my son's father. He will be thirty in just a years time. He's already grown up. Will he be a completely different person now? Have I lost him forever? Oh I can't stop crying. I drove him to detox this evening and it was so hard to watch him walk away.

Good morning!  

Quoting S U Z I E:" Good morning!  "

Good morning everyone!  
How are you all feeling today? I hope great!!
Anyone want/need to talk?

I'm having the hardest time dealing with my BD's meth addiction. He's a liar and a horrible father for choosing drugs over his child. I'm so angry with him and I decided to give him another chance to work on our friendship after ignoring him for the last couple months; he said he's done using. Well, 2 days into this "second chance" and he's already smurfed it up. I'm almost positive that he's dealing, and he lied and said he isn't. He quit his job "because too many people used meth there" and his manager is always messaging me on Facebook saying how my BD's been hanging out in the parking lot of his old work at random times (like 3AM just last night). I want him to get help. He said he wants my support but I'm too angry and really hurt that he keeps lying to me.

I'm tired of being so sad about this.

I just wanted to post in here because I am sure I'm developing a problem and I don't really want to end up like my parents.

My parents were addicted to literally everything. They were also alcoholics. I moved in with my uncle when I was about 11 years old and I started drinking when I was 15. It wasn't a constant thing but I did it a lot. I did coke a few times and some pills. I stopped when I was about 17 or so and didn't touch anything until almost 2 years ago. I'm 28 now and I have 2 kids (5 and 3) and my youngest is autistic and I guess I just feel smurffy about my life sometimes and I self medicate with things I know I shouldn't.

I met my bf 9 months ago and we live together and we both have problems. We drink too much, he is addicted to pills, we both smoke and do coke....the coke thing is only like once or twice a week but I get drunk almost every night. My kids don't see us do any of this but still.....I feel like it's getting out of hand.

The worst is that I hide it so well from everyone. My family doesn't know, his family doesn't know.....I just want someone to talk to. I feel myself turning into my parents and I really just don't like it.

flip off,
I can't believe how much we can relate to each other. My dad is an alcoholic and has been my whole life. I told myself that I would never end up like him. I also started drinking when I was 15 and experimented with other drugs, mostly ecstasy, pills, and pot. I stopped doing everything when I got pregnant and my son Ethan was born in 2010. Then when I moved out of my bf's parents house and into my own place, I was pretty much drinking and getting blackout drunk every single night. I would drink almost an entire 5th to myself, vodka was my go to drink. I would fight with the people I loved while blacked out. Then, I started to crave it. That's when I knew I had to stop My son, Ethan, was also diagnosed with autism recently, and I drank to forget that too. I haven't had a drink in 2 weeks and that doesn't seem like a lot, but to an alcoholic, it's hard. If you ever need to talk about anything, let me know.

That is exactly me. I haven't drank in a couple days but tonight I had a drink....didn't get drunk only had 1 drink. I am also a vodka girl. I would like to never have started any of this honestly, but such is life. I just don't want to get too into it.
