sobriety

Today marks exactly six years when I put an end to my vice of alcohol. I'm going to reiterate something I've offered many times to folks here and elsewhere. If you're struggling with quitting your addiction, and need someone to vent/cry/yell at, my DCs are always open.

My spouse played a big role in supporting my recovery, I was definitely not easy to be around, especially when experiencing DTs (in retrospect going straight cold turkey was very dumb!), but the thing that has made it simpler was doing enough soul searching to figure out why I was seeking escapism at all.

what is something that you consider has helped you remarkably on these 6 years?

and also curious: why do you call it a vice? how would you describe your relationship to it in a gruk (?) story?

Not at all, although sometimes the end of the events can be a bit of a drag when everyone is clearly toasted and communication no longer makes sense 😂

Do you still struggle with it, like when attending events where many are drinking? If so how do you handle that?

Nicotine is admittedly a vice I haven't tamed 😅 but harm reduction strategies exist, and nicotine patches (and non-tobacco pouches like Zyn) exist and can help fight the cravings while kicking the ritual habits associated. That's what I’m currently doing, myself, to get off the crutch.

should i quit vaping? i feel like i'm overdosing on nicotine and feel the need to quit, but my brain keeps asking for it and i keep coming back. 

on the other hand i'm not sure if it's really negatively impacting my health.

your thoughts? & how did you stop yourself from going back to it?

Congrats for 6 years, hats off to you for prioritizing yourself and uour wellness, and thank you for being a beacon to others ❤️❤️

Congratulations on 6 years, thank you for the offer for folks, and thanks for the continued attention bringing to this channel

6 years is huge! Congrats Cassie. I've got a feeling your next 6 years are going to be huge in their own way too 😊

We all have our vices. Some are public. Some are not. Shout it louder. You deserve all the praise for overcoming this. Well done.  👏

👏👏 right behind you at 5.5 years 💪🏻

Congratulations!

You are such a sweetheart for calling addicted people to your DCs.

I was a volunteer in an NGO where we helped heavily drug-addicted and HIV-positive people.

People should be more supportive of them; it really helps.

Thank you for your openness.

congrats cassie!

you are such a bright light on this silly lil app🫡🖤

What a beautiful offer to everyone..

Congratulations on 6 years too

That's amazing! Kudos to you. My uncle was an alcoholic and a drug abuser, and it killed him in the end. I don't really know you, but I'm proud of you for staying sober and healing from it.

Congratulations! It is not easy ending bad habits, even harder replacing them with good ones.
