Just One Victory - Coping With Substance Abuse Problems

smud (if you want them)



Someone I used to get high with contacted me randomly through social media today, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. We grew up together and were close friends but we eventually drifted apart after our relationship became solely about using together. I'm sober now, and hesitant to talk to him because I know our history is a potential trigger or threat to my sobriety and I don't want to go back to that. Idk? I guess I am trying to decide if it is worth it to talk to him or if I should steer clear of him. Has anyone else dealt with this or something similar?

That is up to you. Do you have a sponsor you can talk to?

I ended up deciding that it was better to be cautious and mostly steer clear of him. After some small talk he wanted to meet up but it didn't seem worth it and thankfully our schedules conflicted.

I used the other day with a friend after having more than one panic attack in a day. I split a joint with them and I feel a little conflicted about it. Weed has been legal where I live for a few years and it was the first time I'd gone to a dispensary, though I had been curious about it before. When my friend left I had them take all of it with them. I feel kind of like it was the "safest" way for me to get the curiosity out of my system because I was with someone else and I don't want to do it again. I don't know that I necessarily regret doing it, but I know that even though I don't want to do it again it wasn't the best choice for me. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?

It's been awhile since this thread was updated: How are YOU! (Old, new, whatever) doing now?

I've got 43 days sober today! Not as much as I've had before, but I'm proud of it!

That's great chaos, definitely something to be proud of!
