The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Struggling through addiction is living through hell. I have a very addictive personallity and have struggled with drugs, alcohol and self mutilation. I understand how hard this is for you. You need to put a positive spin on your thought process. You have survived almost two months sober. TWO MONTHS! That is an amazing accomplishment. Do not sell yourself short. Its going to take time for your significant other to gain trust in you again. When we use we use up our loved ones too so he needs a little more time before he sees that this is the real deal. Stay motivated and stay strong.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

As someone who is a recovering alcoholic, I have to completely agree with the above statement. For an addict, one day is hell on earth. You're doing so great! Pleaaasssee don't give up on yourself. Get to an AA or NA meeting in your area. They really do work lol I'm 7 days away from 1 year sober! It can totally be done.
But please know that just because you get sober, doesn't mean all problems go away. You will still face hard times. But you DO NOT have to use over them.
Anytime you need help you message me.

Good job and congratulations on the 45 days of sobriety!
I know it can be tough dealing with the accusations, the past being brought up, and having others worry that you are back sliding. But you have to remember, when you were using you probably hurt a lot of people, did things you wouldn't/shouldn't have done. People don't forget things like that, and when it comes to addiction there's always that haunting question on the back of their minds "Are they using again?"
My father was addicted to a drug, I'm not going to say the name because there is no reason to, and any time he would get upset frustrated or mad I would remember the times he had used and think that he could possibly use again. It's taken time for me to accept the fact that he isn't using anymore and that was the past.
Just be patient, keep your side of the road clean, and do one day at a time.
I was told long ago, "That you can start your day over anytime you want to, so if you're having a bad day, start a new one right there and have a good one."
God bless, stay strong, and keep faith. God is always there for you, and the more he puts on your plate, the stronger you truly are. Tests are given so they can be passed, not to see someone fail.
