Hi @Johncatty, thank you for sharing your story—it takes a lot of courage to open up like this, and it shows that you genuinely want to change. Acknowledging where things went wrong and wanting to make amends is a huge step forward.
I can tell you care deeply about being better, not just for others but for yourself. Recovery is a tough road, but it’s worth every effort. Maybe starting with small, manageable steps—like reaching out to a local support group, talking to a counselor, or even keeping a journal about your journey—could help.
It’s not too late to rebuild. The fact that you’re here, owning your mistakes, says a lot about the kind of person you can become. Keep going, one day at a time, and remember you don’t have to do it alone. You’ve got this!
Hey @Johncatty just here to say congrats man. Being honest with ourselves and others is tough, looking at ourselves in the mirror is NOT easy. Keep going!
Welcome. Glad you’re here. You’re not alone. Most of us did a lot of shameful shit. No one I know quit on a win streak! Every successfully recovered person you see was once STRUGGLING!! Lean in. Help helps! Shoot me a DM if you want to chat more directly.
Hey @Johncatty , checking in, how ya doing?
I’m doing great thanks
How about you
Thanks for opening up and sharing. It’s good that you know and admit what you did wrong. We all have that ugly side of us that comes out in active addiction. It’s what makes us want to be better for ourselves and others. So we don’t turn into that ugly person we don’t like.
