Rock.

The best part about Rock bottom is the Rock part. You discover the solid bit of you. The bit that can't be broken down further. The thing that might be your soul. At our lowest we find the solid ground of our foundation. And we can build ourselves up. Renewed.

I wanted to share this. This is my boyfriend, best friend, the love of my life, my world Justice. He’s struggled so much in his childhood and his adult life. He’s been kicked out of his home before, neglected, abused, ignored, treated like garbage and much more… his own parents have called the police on him… put him in jail before… Justice has fought substance abuse, and probably been on every drug known to man….. the picture of him on the left was him before.. 2020.. he was so depressed and the drugs were causing him to lose so much weight, motivation, and spirit in his eyes. He was almost down to 89 lbs……

The picture on the right is Justice now. :) he’s fought so hard, he’s gotten off drugs, he’s fought and fought to say no to addiction now. He’s had withdrawals, and gotten physically sick for days on end . Today he is 205 lbs, muscle, smiling more, laughing everyday, and he is definitely treated like a king!

Sometimes- it’s not about having someone who’s “already self made” sometimes you fall in love with those who need just a little help, a little more love, and more reassurance! Don’t give up on those who may struggle….. Justice went through it and now he’s doing amazing. I’m so proud of him!!!!! I wanted to share his before and after with tumblr!

Justice is currently getting a letter of recommendation written for him to go down south and is waiting to be accepted into the Phoenix House in Tampa! He is someone who has struggled with drug abuse since 2013… this will be his year to finally turn his life around and get his head back on right! He is ready for his journey to get his life together and having a second chance in life! I am so proud of him!!

thank youuu :)

I'm really proud of you for being sober for one year thats amazing!!! I've struggled with addiction myself so I get how hard even getting to one year is. This ones for you my lovely anon 🥰

Breaking the Chain

Pairing: Ellie Williams x fem!reader

Warnings: alcoholism, addiction, fluff, Ellie being a good gf, modern AU

Summary: Ellie takes you to AA

Word Count: 784

A/N: Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes, thank you anon for the request!

Ellie and you had been dating for roughly three years, and you had just moved in together last week. Ellie knew that you enjoyed a drink or two, during dinner, parties, or just when relaxing, but it wasn't until you started living together that she realized how much you relied on alcohol to cope with stress and anxiety.

Ellie started to worry about your drinking quickly, so she brought it up with you. At first, you were defensive and dismissive, saying that you had everything under control. But it soon became clear that you didn't.

One night, you came home late from work, clearly drunk. Stumbling through the kitchen, knocking over a chair, you went to hug your girlfriend, Ellie could smell the alcohol on your breath.

She’s had enough.

"We need to talk," she says, pushing you off of her.

You sigh, clumsily picking up the collapsed chair and sitting down. "I know," you said. "I've been trying to quit, but it's harder than I imagined."

Ellie kneels down in front of you. "I'm here for you," she softly rests her hand on your knee. "We can do this together."

You hang your head. "I want to quit," you whisper. "I really do. But every time I try, I end up drinking again."

Ellie sees a tear fall from your eye. She knows that you're struggling, and she wants to help.

"Have you ever thought about going to Alcoholics Anonymous?" she asks.

You look up at her skeptically. "I don't know about that," you say. "I don't want to be one of those people who go to meetings all the time."

She lightly rubs your knee, "It's worth a try," she says. "It's a safe space where you can talk about your struggles and get support from people who understand what you're going through."

You think about it for a moment. "Okay," you finally say. "I'll go to one meeting with you, but that's it."

Ellie smiles. "That's all I'm asking for.”

The next week, you and Ellie head off to your first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting together. As you walk into the small, dimly lit room, you feel your nerves building. You don’t know what to expect, and you weren't sure if you were ready to open up about your struggles with addiction.

The group leader welcomes everyone and explains how the meeting is going to work. Then, she invites the attendees to introduce themselves and share their stories.

One by one, people stand up and talk about their experiences. Some had been sober for years, while others were new to the program. You listened carefully, feeling a sense of belonging with the other attendees.

When it is your turn to speak, you stand up slowly, taking a deep breath and looking around the room. "Hi, my name is y/n, and I'm an alcoholic.”

The words feel heavy in your mouth, but you managed to push through. “I have been drinking for as long as I can remember.” you take a deep breath before continuing. “It started with a few drinks after work, just to take the edge off. But before I knew it the few drinks after work turned into a few drinks too many, and then I couldn’t get through the day without the alcohol.”

Looking to your left you see Ellie with a sad smile on her face, she reaches up and takes your hand. You smile down at her before continuing. “I have tried to quit on my own… although it never lasted long… The cravings would come back, stronger and I would give in, telling myself that just… one more drink wouldn’t hurt.” Ellie softly squeezes your hand. “But it did hurt, not only me but my girlfriend. She would come home to me drunk on the couch and I could see the pain she held as she watched me slowly disappear due to my addiction.” Swallowing the lump in your throat you look down at your feet, “They say the first step is realizing you have a problem… I have a problem… and I want to try to get sober”

When the meeting was over, Ellie and you stayed behind to chat with some of the other attendees. You exchanged phone numbers and email addresses, you even found a sponsor, a guy named Jesse.

As you walk out of the meeting with Ellie, you feel a weight lifting off your shoulders. You turn to Ellie, "I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad we went to that meeting together.”

Ellie smiles softly, giving you a kiss. "I'm proud of you," she leans into your side. "And I'm here for you every step of the way."

Addiction is like playing with fire Before you know it everything goes up in flames Everything destroyed, Nothing will ever be the same.

Hey, I hate to ask but my fiance and I just got sick with covid. We are recovering addicts, he is on methadone and I was on suboxone but I recently took time off of work to taper off and withdraw from the suboxone. I'm in active withdrawal and now have covid and it's too much to deal with. I was doing sex work to help pay bills during this time but it's going to be a while before I can do anything since I'm this sick, and he's had to take time off work because of having covid since he works in the food industry. Any help would be so appreciated to help us pay rent and buy necessities

Venmo: @MariahVickroy

!!!!!!!!! UPDATE!!!!!!!!

I hate to have to put this on here, but I was getting some art supplies off of a friend (I didn't come in contact with them they left them outside) and at a stop light, someone hit and run me in our only car. It's undriveable and no one can find the person who did it. My fiance can no longer get to his methadone treatments which he needs to go to every day. Please please any help is appreciated.

And thank you to the person named Jason that donated ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so thankful and your support means the absolute world to me. If anyone else donates, please send me a message with your username so I can thank you!

New hyperfixation alert: Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss have taken over my life

I have strong feelings about Angel Dust who would have guessed

So for some reason

A storyline about redemption with a character who’s trapped in an abusive hypersexual relationship with drugs as a coping mechanism constantly putting on a mask

Kinda resonated with me

Prayer request

Struggling with "corn" addiction. Please pray for me and my healing. After being exposed so much at such a (very) young age and constantly exposed to it in this culture and world today, I don't want to damage myself any more than I already have. Female addicts of this category are not talked about as much as our male counterparts. It would help to know that I'm not the only woman dealing with this problem. Any inbox/ messages regarding forums or information about dealing with this are graciously appreciated. God bless you, and thank you for your hopes and prayers.

Hi everyone!! Help needed if possible!

My name is Emma, I'm a recovering addict living in a sober living house, I'm in a program to help recovering addicts. I spent April 5th-July20th in jail, and from July 21st-Sept 11th in rehab. I'm 175 days clean.

In the chaos that was my life prior to that, however, I have lost all 3 forms of ID from either it being stolen or misplaced somehow. So because of that, I'm not able to apply for EBT or any jobs for a little bit. I'm in the process of getting my ducks in a row, however in the meantime I still need help with finances- my rent here, groceries, bus $, and to get a few clothes (I have no underwear!). If anyone is able to help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

My cashapp is $emma2sue

PayPal: [email protected]

And eventually I'm hoping to be able to reimburse anyone who helps one day. But I can't make any promises of the near future. But I will pay the kindness forward in being generous once my needs are met!

Here's some pictures of me from before and after treatment so you can see the difference and see I really am in recovery :)

And here's before treatment:

Wanted to share how proud I am of my boyfriend, my whole world, my everything, my better half, and my best friend Justice. He has struggled so much in his life ever since he was young. We met in 2012 at school and we instantly became close ever since and then he became my biggest crush ever… and eventually we ended up together :) he has saved me from 2 traumatic events that had - almost happened to me even he had not been there in time . He is my hero… my everything… my world… Justices family has thrown him out, abused him, assaulted him, trashed him, his own father called the police on him and had him arrested and in jail for a whole entire year….I waited for him. Every single day of that. He was previously struggling with drug addiction/abuse and he was getting ahold of every drug he could… to get rid of his pain he had dealt with as a child. The picture you see of him on the left is him almost crying because he was paranoid and under the influence of drugs… and he was on probation at that time… he wasn’t using the best judgement… but he knew that. He knows he wasn’t being smart, he knows that and he has owned up to his past and his past mistakes. He is man enough to admit that and his wrongs which- that alone takes a real man to own up and correct those wrongs.

In the left picture he was almost all the way down to 87 lbs…..

The picture you see of him on the right is HIM NOW :) at 205 lbs, healthy as ever, smiling every day, laughing, and only wanting positivity in his life now. He doesn’t want anything to do with negativity ever again and he only wants positive, sobriety, and to show others he has changed, he has beat the odds, and he will continue to show that he is a survivor and he has changed for the better and will continue to be a role model and someone who others can say “wow he did that” about.

Just wanted to share a good post with tumblr.

Recovery is possible

-feel free to reblog this and share his story :) it would mean a lot to him and he knows the tumblr community can be a good place to share a change for positivity. It would mean a lot to him!

I don't wanna just survive

I don't wanna just 'get by,'

I want to LIVE,

Be known, be remembered,

I've lived thousands of lives,

Yet I'm still alive,

I'm done trying to hide,

Done letting darkness eat at me inside,

I'm still standing.

And as long as i breathe,

I'll never surrender.

So tell those who said I can't do it- that I've only just arrived.

I woke up today

Had plenty of time to partake in my ritual of getting ready aka smoking dope

I woke up today

My bag and pipe was right next to me in the car

I woke up today

& I surrendered

Let the detox begin, withdrawals & emotions resurface…

I deserve a healthy, safe, loving lifestyle

Fuck meth
