I am clean and Sober for 5 years and 3 months.
I am clean and sober since my first meeting (21.09.2020).
Grateful! Every day! Thanks for supporting me!
IF YOU ARE LIKE ME...
If you are driven, but not always in the right direction; if you’ve had a good life, yet in one or more areas you never truly had control—alcohol, substances, gambling, relationships, intimacy, food—then you’re like me.
If you sensed that something was wrong but didn’t know what it was;
if you felt like an outsider everywhere and struggled to regulate your emotions; if you failed to protect yourself or attacked unnecessarily.
Basically, everything felt like a mess.
Little by little, you lost yourself—again and again—until you became so confused that you didn’t even know how to handle the simplest everyday decisions.
And if you’re like me, there came a point when your addiction no longer gave you escape, relief, or pleasure.
Yet you couldn’t live without it—and you couldn’t live with it either.
You wanted it, and at the same time secretly envied calm people.
You wanted some kind of inner peace, for all the chaos in your head to stop.
You wanted it—but had no idea how.
Well… that was me.
Now I’m simply passing on what helped me.
