Recovery from Fentanyl

...See more Anyone else in recovery or has gained sobriety from opioids? I'm currently in a suboxone program to kick my fentanyl addiction. I broke my foot s little over a year ago and no one would prescribe me anything g stronger than ibuprofen. I was in excruciating pain for weeks it was horrible. I've dabbled in drugs since my teen years but had never done fetanyl till then. It was so easy to acquire and cheap too. It didnt take long at all before I was dependent on it. Then I found myself having to use just so I wasn't sick. It was such a vicious cycle. Anyone been thru something similar and have had success in recovery or making you're still struggling with it?

Trying to quit meth

...See more Looking for others that understand the struggle of kicking this meth addiction. I dont want to use anymore but I also dont want to do an inpatient program or 12-Step program. Those aren't viable options for me and neither has worked in the past so. I need a sober buddy to connect with on a daily basis and we can offer each other support. Something helpful I did stumble upon just today tho... A book i just downloaded for free on Kindle. It's called 'How to Quit Meth'. Just from reading the sample of the book I feel like this could be something that really works for me. You should check it out too.

Trauma Bonded to My Abuser TW

...See more TW: abuse, addiction, mental health How do I end my relationship with my abuser for good? I escaped the home we lived in together and am physically safe now. But he wont let me let him go completely and move on with my life. I dont know why I'm in this secret relationship with him its literally so stupid of me to allow him to continue having power over me. I feel so ashamed and guilty and I would feel humiliated if my family found out I'm with him after everything hes done to me. Can someone help me talk this out please? I really dont know how much longer I can do this and I'm not sure how to get away from him for good.

When does the pain of divorce subside?
Relationship Stress / by kindCircle3085

...See more I've been separated and now divorced my my husband for 5 years and I feel like the wounds are still so open and raw. I truly believe I've developed PTSD from the whole experience and its left me traumatized and broken hearted. I'm still so devastated and I just keep cycling thru tho stages of grief but I never complete the acceptance stage bc I cannot accept it. I just cant. I dont want to accept that it's over, I no longer have my precious little family, I dont sleep next to my soulmate every night and I will never have those things back. And, to add to the pain of all the loss, also destroyed are my hopes and dreams for the 3 of us for the future. I feel like I will never truly heal or be whole again. Someone tell me I'll be okay one day. Because this is not getting any easier.

Trapped In a Horrible Cycle Journal

...See more Okay so I guess this is where we just spill everything that we ca t talk to anyone else about? I am in a secret relationship with my abuser. I'll try not to make the backstory too terribly long. So here goes... Two and a half years ago I met a guy who happened to be my former friend's ex-husband. She was currently dating my ex bf so I didn't see much wrong with seeing her ex. And we were no longer friends at that point. Anywho, I was in an awful period in my life having separated from my husband (not my choosing or decision). We were together 19 years and had a 4 year old son together. The separation and impending divorce had sent me to a very dark place and into a full mental breakdown. By the time I met said abuser I had already been in 2 absolutely awful 'relationships' with terrible 'men' who also had been abusive towards me. Needless to say, i was in a really bad place all around. I was desperate to find love again and in desperate need of some kind of supportive person in my life. Hence the fact I kept jumping into relationships when I really had no business even dating with the things I was dealing with. So, I met the abuser briefly and we connected on Facebook. Some time goes by and one night I'm at home lonely and bored as usual so I reach out and message him on Facebook. He rather quickly offered to send an uber to pick me up and bring me to his place. It sounded better than being alone so I agreed. We hung out and no more than just a few days later I was staying at his house, basically living there. I didnt wanna go back to my parents bc our relationship was not good at all at that time so I asked if I could stay with him a few days, he was happy to have me there. Those few days turned into 1.5 absolutely miserable awful years. A living nightmare. I knew in just the first w weeks that this was a huge mistake, red flags everywhere! He lied to .e about having been in the military as well as being a licensed massage therapist among many many other things. His mother straight up told me I shouldn't stick around to find out who he really is and that I should run and never look back. Basically told me everything he'd been lying about and that he was essentially a deadbeat dad to his 4 kids. (None lived with him). I ignored her warnings and stayed anyway. I try to see the good in people and made a lot of excuses as to why he cant be that awful. Had I known then what he would do to me and put me thru I would have run for the hills that second. So I stuck around and it wasnt like before things began to change from him being thoughtful and kind to already showing signs of jealousy and controlling behavior. He had love-bombed me. Even with those signs I made excuses for him and decided not to throw in the towel just yet. Part II coming tomorrow...
